That means it's almost time for summer reading club at the Warner Library in Clinton and leaders anticipate another big year full of fun and good books. Children's Librarian Paula Lopatic says summer reading club is broken into two groups for the kids.

 

 

The community always steps up to support the summer reading club. Lopatic says their non-profit arm, The Friends of the Warner Library, book sale supports the program. Additionally, there are local business and non-profit entities that support their efforts.

 

 

Keeping kids reading skills sharp while they are away from school for the summer months is very important. Lopatic says it's not about making kids read for hours on end during a day but keeping those skills sharp helps them when they return to class the following fall.

 

 

The summer reading club kicks off the week of May 21 and there will be plenty of programs and activities for youth to participate in throughout the summer months.
