BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — Children across the region are looking forward to summer vacation, unlike their parents who are left wondering what activities to do this summer.
If you find yourself wondering, The Raleigh County Public Library is here to help with a Summer Reading Program. Sign-ups have officially started for program titled “An Ocean of Stories”. Circulation Clerk Cari Burns said this will be a great way to keep reading skills sharp all summer.
“Our Summer reading program, kids can sign up for Tuesday, Wednesday at either 10:30 AM or 1:30 PM, or they can sign up for Saturdays. With our summer reading program on Tuesday and Wednesday’s, it’s a more interactive, in-person activity. Miss Nellie reads stories to our two to six and Miss Amy works with the older seven to 12 by doing STEM science, experiments, activities, things like that.”
