FAIRMONTÂ â As school begins to winds down, staff at the Marion County Public Libraries search for ways to make reading during summer time fun. Every year, we have a different theme and this year s summer theme is Tails & Tales, said Christian Cox, children s program coordinator at the Marion County Public Library on Monroe Street in Fairmont.
The focus of the program is to invite children, teens and adults from all around the county to read together and earn prizes while they do it. The overall goal is to keep kids caught up with their reading skills.
