This Saturday kicks off the summer reading club season at the Atlanta Public Library in Logan County.

Librarian Julianna Nordmann says the thing that makes the Atlanta Public Library's summer reading club unique is they have a kick-off event this Saturday but the program is open to anyone in any zip code.

Nordman indicates they are offering lots of hands-on programs including one that is gaining a lot of excitement and that is the dissection of owl pellets. She indicates these can uncover some pretty incredible remains.

The Atlanta Public Library will have a lot of prizes for those kids that make the various milestones they achieve. Nordman notes the summer reading club is well supported through the budget to make sure they engage with kids during the summer months.

Nordman stresses the reason the Atlanta Public Library opens its program to anyone in any zip code and then makes it a free program is to allow as many kids access to books and reading during the summer because of the benefits summer reading proves to have.

The Atlanta Public Library summer reading club kicks off this Saturday. If you plan to be a part of the summer reading club, Nordman encourages getting signed up by this Wednesday or Thursday so they can have enough materials for everyone.
