Libraries kick off summer program The Huron County Library is gearing up for its annual summer reading program to be held in 12 library branches throughout Huron County. The theme for 2000’s program is Wilderness Bound Adventure Found. Through their participation in stories, crafts, games and songs relating to the wilderness theme, children will be encouraged to read a variety of books over the upcoming summer months. All children between the ages of 5 and 12 are invited to take part in the program. They will enjoy exploring all aspects of the wilderness - from birds to plants to animals and much, much more. Amy Gibbings and Tara Sturdy, the Summer Reading Program co­ ordinators, will present the Wilderness Bound Adventure Found program during the months of July and August throughout the par­ ticipating libraries. The summer reading program is made possible through the support of the Huron County Library, along with a grant from the Summer Career Placement Program through Human Resources Development Canada. A grant from Young Canada Works, a division of the Department of Canadian Heritage, has also con­ tributed to the program. The TD Bank Financial Group has sponsored the program materials. Donations are also received from local busi­ nesses and services clubs. This program provides an excel­ lent opportunity for parents to offer their children a fun-filled, entertain­ ing yet education experience. For more information about Wilderness Bound Adventure Found or to register to take part in the pro­ gram, please visit your local library.
