Summer is a great time for a good read

By Cathy Spaulding
Phoenix Staff Writer

She said she likes a variety of books and comes to the library every two weeks or so.

In the children’s section, 12-year-old Lloyd Oulds of Eufaula said he probably will read more than the 25-book standard set by the reading program.

“I like kids’ books, fiction,” he said after reading Jeff Kidney’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” with his younger brother, Chris, 9. “I like reading a lot.”

Pershing Elementary sixth-grader Jalee Smith said she doesn’t really have a favorite book.

“I like a whole bunch of books,” she said. “I was reading Tiara Club yesterday.”

Hanley said about 850 kids participated in the Summer Reading program last year, with nearly 400 completing the program by reading 25 books or more.

“The Muskogee Public Schools lunch bus will be back with us this year,” she said.

The Summer Reading Program begins Monday.
