Summer reading program allows local children to explore the world
Be a global citizen.
The Corinne Costin Gibson Memorial Public Library in Port St. Joe’s newest summer reading program invites local children to take a trip around the world without ever leaving home.
Participants can get their passport stamped each week as we explore folklore, music, art, language, costume and geography with hands-on learning activities and snacks.
The All Together Now Summer Reading Program has already explored Australia and Ireland, but there are many more countries to visit. The program takes place on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. at the library. It will run through July 18, with no program to take place on July 4.
All Together Now is geared towards school-aged children.
