Summer’s almost here! When school is out it is time to come to the Jacksonville Library (or any Jackson County Library) and sign up for our Summer Reading Program. This is a great way to have fun and learn about lots of cool things, and keep those reading skills sharp.
Our theme is A UNIVERSE OF STORIES.
We have great book prizes for you. After you read 10 books you may choose a new book. After the second 10 you may choose a gently used book and an ice cream cone from Ray’s in Jacksonville. Find the Golden Book and choose a prize from the treasure chest. You could win a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble or tickets for the Jacksonville Trolley.
