Find fun activities at area libraries this summer
Summer Reading Program for Kids: Pick up a summer reading schedule and game board at any city library location to participate. (Co-sponsored by 3M.)
Read Down Your Fines: All Library locations, through Aug. 31.
Youths ages 15 and under with a library card can sign up to "read down" fines. Sign up at any service desk, and a staff member will time your reading. For every 20 minutes you read, the library will remove $1 of overdue fines. Older kids can read to young kids, and each will receive a credit. Sign up for summer reading and your time can also be used to earn prizes.
