Summer Reading Program begins June 14. The theme is "What do you want to be when you grow up?" All kids in K-4th grade are encouraged to come and explore various occupations. The first day's program topic will be farmers. There will be a program every Thursday from 1- 2:30 p.m. to investigate different jobs that people do. The program will run through Aug. 2.

Library hours have expanded. In an effort to reach out to more members of the community, the library is now open from 10-12 and 1-7 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. Those who work a 9-5 shift or those who wish to come after dinner will find the doors open until 7 p.m.

The library has many new books for the Senior Materials Enrichment Program. All of the Large Print books that have been acquired since the program began are on the New Books Shelf. Soon, the library will receive audio books and DVDs to compliment the Large Print books for seniors. Once a month books are changed at the Senior Center in Burlington for its patrons. The Senior Materials Enrichment Program is funded in part by a grant from the Carroll County Community Foundation, a fund of the Community Foundation of Howard County.

Stop in and work on a jigsaw puzzle and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. The Internet can be accessed at the library. 23JB-DPL
