The 2005 Sulphur Springs Public Library Summer Reading Program


June is fast approaching, and the Sulphur Springs Public Library has left the station with the Summer Reading Program! The 2005 schedule of events includes Audrey McClure, Jewels of Wisdom, Cathy Whitman, Storyteller and Percussionists, and Mark Shelton's Shake Scrape and Shake. The Last 2 Years, the library sponsored a "community read-in" on the last day of the program.  Those events were so successful that we've made it an annual event. Volunteers from the community will read books appropriate for the ages represented within their group, and help them learn a craft!
