On Thursday, May 9, the Attala County Library held its Summer Reading Program kickoff and registration.
The theme of the 2019 program is “Universe of Stories.”
Due to rain, the event was moved from the library parking area to the Attala County Coliseum with inflatables, lemonade and popcorn, face painting, and badge
making among the most popular activities during the evening.
Children were able to register for door prizes, which followed the Universe of Stories theme. An E.T. toy, Star Wars coloring book and space books were among the prizes.
According to Alicia Gibson, library youth services coordinator, 166 children were in attendance and 88 registered for the summer program.
Registration continues at the library during regular business hours from May 20 until June 3.
