- S. Public Library to the Rescue. Summer Reading Program Theme “Every Hero has a Story”

Every Hero has a Story theme covers the values that make a superhero really super: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Pick up a calendar at the library or check the website www.sslibrary.org. Story time is Tuesday 10am and Thursday 6pm. We will have a Brett Roberts’ magic show and end the summer with a huge Community Read in called Hero-town from 6-8p.m. July 30 with food and local heroes. Don’t miss the wonderful activities.
