Fortnightly Club's donates $1K for library's summer reading kickoff

The kick off of the Rice Lake Public Library’s summer reading program is starting June 1, with something for everyone of all ages. The Rice Lake Fortnightly Club has donated $1,000 for this kick-off program.

The Readapalooza event, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, will encourage sign-ups for the summer reading program. Participants will get a “Passport to Adventure,” where they can mark down each day that they read during the summer to earn free books, a Super Reader yard sign, and a chance to win grand prizes at the end of the summer.

The Readapalooza event will also have a bouncy house, a sweet treat, a free book for children who attend, and a craft. Crafts this year include rock art and a DIY wooden necklace.
