Stark County area libraries are doing their best to ramp up services as they welcome readers to summer programs.
While COVID-19 is still impacting programming, the libraries are offering a number of ways to partake.
Beside the traditional summer reading program, Rodman Public Library in Alliance offers a virtual summer art experience for kids 6 to 13.
The library will provide art supplies and six tutorials on YouTube. The self-paced art projects will be virtually displayed in July.

FLTON – Director of Fulton City Parks and Recreation, Chris Waldron, recently joined a Fulton Sunrise Rotary meeting recently to talk about the path that brought the city native back to Fulton and into the directorship position.
In the meeting, Waldron said he has always loved activities that bring people together. So he set his sights on pursuing a degree in Recreation and Leisure Studies. After graduation he worked in other cities, but when the opportunity arose last October, he moved back and joined the Fulton Parks Department.
After assessing the positive opportunities available in the Fulton community, Waldron began to explore new areas that might excite and engage Fulton residents. A community committee including representatives from the city, Fulton Public Library, CYO, YMCA and the Fulton Alliance Church have been bringing ideas to the table and several new activities are now in the planning.
