Starting June 1, Lincolnshire-based Vernon Area Public Library will host a nine-week reading and activities series called Summer Camp.
Public libraries across the nation have hosted summer reading programs since the late 1800s. They began as a way to keep city children busy when school was out. They continue today because they re a great way for people of all ages to grow and learn during the summer months, when schedules are usually a little more relaxed.
