The library board of trustees will hold their regular monthly meeting today, May 29, 4:30 P.M. in the library meeting room.

Calling everyone to join in the summer reading program “Adventure Begins at Your Library!” Children may still register and set their reading goals to earn prizes. In each week the first thirty minutes read you may earn a gift certificate for Paradise Shave Ice ( the truck will be at the library Monday afternoons); for the second thirty minutes you will receive a gift certificate for a small ice cream from the Corner Hub; the next thirty minutes earns you a gift certificate for a Boba Drink from Milk River Pharmacy, and the fourth thirty minutes earns a gift certificate for a small personal pizza from EZ Mart. For each prize earned your name will be entered into the grand prize drawing. For every additional thirty minutes you read per week and for every library program you attend your name will also be entered into the grand prize drawing. Keep those reading skills sharp this summer!

Teens and adults are also encouraged to take part in the summer reading program. For every book you read or listen to, your name will be entered into the grand prize drawing of a $50 gift card. Just let the library know in person, via email, or on Facebook when you’ve completed a book.

Also stop by the library and add a map tack to our United States map showing the farthest you have traveled!
