Homewood Public Library's Children's Department opened a reading nook in March of 2019.
The Homewood Public Library is hosting a variety of events for all ages this week.
Summer reading, for ages up to 12, is ongoing through Aug. 4. Once signed up, kids can pick up a goodie bag and a free book at the Friend's bookstore!
They will receive a calendar reading log to track each day they read or listen to an audiobook. Bring the log to the children's desk and earn a monthly drawing entry for every 3 days marked off. A handful of winners will be picked on Aug. 5. To register, visit homewoodpubliclibrary.org/sr.
