Josephine Community Libraries to offer summer reading program
Grants Pass, June 25, 2008-A free summer reading program for children of all ages is being offered by Josephine Community Libraries, the nonprofit organization working to reopen the libraries in Josephine County.
The program will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursdays from July 3 through Aug. 7 at Parkway Village Shopping Center, 1519 N.E. F St. in Grants Pass. The room is located off the courtyard behind the Gooseberries grocery store.
Josephine Community Libraries will kick off the reading program as part of Kids’ Day at Parkway Village on Saturday, June 28, beginning at 10 a.m.
Children may bring one or more books with them to the program and exchange the books with others, although this is not required to participate. Volunteers will help with storytelling. Parents and children are welcome to bring chairs or pillows to sit on.
Members of the public who would like to drop off children’s books to give to participants may do so during the first and last half hours of the program.
