The Ector County Library will be kicking off their annual Summer Reading Program on May 26th in the Noel Heritage Plaza located next to the library. The kickoff will start at 4:00 PM and will last until 6:00 PM. The fun will include bouncy houses, face painting, snow cones, and much more! Kids and Young Adults, through age 18, will be able to register for the Summer Reading Program at that time and start checking out books from the library right away. Can't make it? That's all right! We'll still do the sign ups later. Just like previous years, we have local sponsors who have provided some fabulous coupons for every 15 books that are read. Come on by, check out the fun, and start reading!
