JACKSON, Mo. – Riverside Regional Library’s “All Together Now” Summer Reading Program kicks off next week with awesome performers and great incentives for all ages to read all summer. A wide variety of programs are planned from crafts for all ages to book clubs and story times.
“The Library’s Summer Reading Program brings performers from across the region to our six branch libraries for fun, entertaining and educational programs. This program is especially important for children to keep them engaged in learning and reading over the summer. Businesses and organizations have donated funds and prizes that encourage our patrons to participate, and we couldn’t do this program without the community’s support.” states Tessa Holland, Riverside’s Children/Youth Librarian.
The performers this year include Kindersongs on May 30 and 31. Celia Later on June 13 and 14, DC Micken (ventriloquist) on July 6 and 7 and the Cape Conversation Nature Center on July 11 and 12.
All performers will appear at each of the library’s branches so check for details at the library’s website www.riversideregionallibrary.org.
