Summer reading program begins at the library

The Nevada Public Library's summer reading program begins soon, when local students who have completed kindergarten through sixth grade will have a chance to "Catch the Reading Bug."

Readers can sign up at the library, at the corner of Walnut and Ash, now through May 28. Students set a reading goal for the month of June, keep track of reading and receive a prize when goals are met. Certificates also will be awarded to students who complete the requirements.

Programs will be presented each Tuesday in June, at 1:30 p.m., at the community center.

For information, call the library at (417) 448-2770.
