Children can “Dig Into Reading” in this year’s Homewood Public Library Summer Reading Program.
Registration for newborns through fifth graders begins May 15 online at homewoodpubliclibary.org. The first 100 readers who register will receive a special ‘recyclable’ book tote. If you register before May 29, your name will be added to a drawing for two passes to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga.
The fun kicks off at a picnic complete with bounce houses, food, games and more May 30 at 6 p.m. Register online before the event to receive tickets for a hot dog, chips and drink that evening.
As in the past, Cahaba Cycle will offer a bike give-away for the prorgam. Publix, Chik-fil-A, Piggly Wiggly, Jack’s, Barber’s, Bud’s Best Cookies and Western have all contributed goodies to add to the fun of Monday movies, story times and other programs.
