Engage readers, writers

Fort Recovery Public Library is hosting a two-part summer youth program this year.

The program — it’s funded through Ohio Arts council’s Fund Every County Initiative — will focus on reading and writing for children and teens.

“The Magical Power of the Pen! We Are All Authors!”, the writing portion of the program led by local writer Lucy Staugler, aims to enhance students’ skills, as well as gain confidence in their abilities. Students in fourth through eighth grade are invited to join the group, which will meet June 3, June 5, June 10 and June 12. Fourth, fifth and sixth graders will meet from 10 to 11 a.m., and seventh and eighth graders will meet from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required by Tuesday. Contact the library at (419) 375-2869 or email [email protected] to register.

“Adventure Begins at Your Library,” the reading portion of the program from June 3 through July 10, aims to encourage children and teens to attend library events and enhance their reading skills throughout the summer.
