     Registration for the program began on Wednesday, June 1.
     Grant said the schedule this year includes a summer reading party which will be held in the library parking lot on Wednesday, June 11, from 10 a.m. to noon.
      That event, she said, is sponsored by Kinetic/Windstream.
    “There will be music, goodies, and the Kona Ice Truck to help us celebrate,” Grant said.
