On Tuesday at the last meeting of the school year for the Hampton Lions Club, the members voted unanimously to donate $700 to the Calhoun County Library to fund the Summer Reading Program. This money will allow us to provide supplies and snacks for the planned 15 programs and activities for Calhoun County’s youth this summer, and we are so grateful to all the members of the Lions Club for their support. Among planned programs for this summer are making sheet rock candy, painting kindness rocks, movie and board game days, and visits from both the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and the Arkansas Geological Society. We will also be doing a reading challenge like last year’s, and everyone who completes the challenge will be entered to win a brand new Kindle. Sign-up for Summer Reading will begin on June 11, and the program will run through July 20. A full (tentative) schedule of activities can be found on our website at www.calcolibrary.com/summerreading2018.
