            Summer Reading Program 
			May 29-July 21 The theme for the Lincoln Public Library Summer Reading Program 
			is "Reading Is So Delicious!" The main program for preschoolers and 
			grade school children runs from May 29 through July 21. Along with 
			reading for prizes, the library will also offer story times for 
			children ages 6 months through 2 years, 3 to 4 years, and 5 to 7 
			years old. Craft classes for 8- to 12-year-olds and Thursday morning 
			entertainment for the entire family are also planned. Sign-up week 
			is May 29 through June 2, when there will be food-themed games for 
			the kids. If you are unable to come to the library that week, come 
			in as soon as possible to allow the most time to read and 
			participate in all the activities. All library activities are free 
			and open to the public; however, advance registration is required 
			for accurate planning. All elementary students in Lincoln schools 
			will be given an information packet to take home.  The reading program for teens runs from June 4 through July 14.
