Learning that ‘Adventure begins at your library’

The summer reading program kicked off June 1 with a host of activities at the at the Niederkorn Library in Port Washington, where youngsters and their families got a taste of the fun to come. The reading program, which follows the theme “Adventure Begins at Your library,” challenges children of all ages to log 600 minutes of reading from June 1 to July 31. Getting a head start on their adventures were (clockwise from left photo) Tyler Nickel, who read to 3-year-old Aldo Nickel. Julie Ryer watched as Hazel Ryer, 6, and Madelyn Herian, 7, checked out one of the library’s books. Charlie Halleman, 7, showed off his summer reading bag, which he can fill with books to enjoy.  Photos by Sam Arendt
