The Parma Library will offer a full range of programs for children of all ages this summer. Pre-school Story Hours for children three to five years old are a blend of stories, songs, games, films and fun. Sessions will be held on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. The first and second grade Story Hour will be held on Monday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. It features stories, songs, games, crafts, and fun. For children going into third, fourth and fifth grade, Readers' Club meets on Wednesdays from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Sixth graders are also welcome.

The fifth and sixth grade Reading Contest runs from July 1 to August 31. The 5th or 6th grader who reads the most books at different reading levels will win a $15 gift certificate from Barnes and Noble Bookstore.

Family Reading Night is a program for the whole family. Turn off the TV and radio for an hour or two and enjoy a good book with the whole family. Pick up a family reading log at the library and record library visits and books read.
