HOMER LIBRARY NEWS
Have you been to the new Homer Village Hall lately? If not, you haven’t seen the progress. The new book drop is in place. Once the brickwork is done, the audio-video drop will go up. The dry wall has been applied in the auditorium/future library. Soon we will be painting.
New books on CD have arrived, and more are on the way.
The Summer Reading Program starts June 6 at 1 p.m. It will continue each Wednesday in June and July, except for the Fourth, at the same time, and last for one hour. Our theme this year is Mission Read: To the Library and Beyond. Each week there will be crafts, games, sometimes treats, and a reading promotion. Children who read during the summer will have an easier time when school starts again in the fall.
The final distribution for this school year of books from the Reading is Fundamental Program took place on May 15. Each child in grades K through 4 received a free book of his or her choice. This is the last federally funded distribution for Homer. From now on, we will have to fund it ourselves. Previously, the federal program provided 75% of the cost.
