Highland Park Library’s 2013 “Dig Into Reading” summer reading program will begin with a concert and ice cream sundae fest on Friday, June 7 at 10:30 a.m. in Prather Park. After registering and picking up their reading log, children and their families will rock out to the upbeat tunes of Parents Choice Award winner Lizza Connor, then cool down with make-your-own ice cream sundaes.

In addition to the kickoff concert on June 7, the Library will present yo-yo expert Valerie Oliver on June 28 and ventriloquist Nancy Burks Worcester on July 12, then close with a garden-themed celebration on August 2. Those unable to attend the kickoff may register throughout the summer at the Library at 4700 Drexel Drive.

Each year Highland Park Library participates in the Texas Summer Reading club, offering fun programs and stimulating children to maintain and grow their reading skills over the summer. With this year’s “Dig Into Reading” theme, we will plant the seeds of a love of books and prepare children to harvest a lifetime of reading enjoyment.
