Summer Reading Kick Off

Texas Tom, Teller of Tall Tales


The Aubrey Area Library Summer Reading Program is off to a fun, enthusiastic start!

About 80 children and 30 adults gathered as Jim Progar, dressed as Texas Tom, Teller of Tall Tales, related the story of The Contest at Cowlick. Texas Tom captivated his audience with the tale of a clever youngster who outwitted a group of bandits. Therese Progar then led the children in an energetic song to wrap up the program.

The children will participate in the Summer Reading Rodeo by tracking the books they choose to read over the summer or by tracking the minutes they read each day.

Each child received a book bag, book marks, and book logs. Each week throughout June and July, the library will host a special Summer Reading program to encourage our young readers.

Come and join us for an enriching summer on Tuesdays @11:15!

Traditional Story Times on Wednesdays @ 11:15.
