MUSCATINE, Iowa – Summer Reading has officially started at the Musser Public Library and HNI Community Center, and the library wants to make sure that patrons of all ages have all the information they need to participate.
“This summer we will have our usual online enrollment, virtual programs and performances, and an exciting new addition,” Pam Collins, Director of the Musser Public Library, said.
The new addition is Reading Bingo with sheets provided to children and teens that will challenge them to try new and fascinating things, to learn, to earn prizes, and to even had the opportunity to be shown on television (Muscatine Cable Channel 5).
