The summer reading club is roaring on at the Maroa Public Library.

Maroa Library Program Director Jenny Cowgill on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday told Regional Radio News they are already underway with their program and they have a lot of activities on the calendar until the program ends July 9.

Children that participate are given a log to keep track of their reading. Cowgill indicates each age group keeps track of its reading differently.

Programs like the Maroa Library's summer reading club offers children the opportunity to continue their reading and learning through the summer months while offering fun incentives. Cowgill says it's important for kids to continue to keep those skills sharp when they're away from school.

There's still time for kids to get involved in the Maroa Library summer reading club plus several activities still to come this summer. Cowgill directs those interested to head to their website, maroa.lib.il.us, or visit them at 305 Garfield Street in Maroa. You can also find the library on Facebook.
