The Dacusville Community Library kicked off its summer reading program Saturday morning. This year’s summer reading theme is “Growing Good Readers.” Young readers enjoyed a lesson about plants and trees from Susan Childers before she read Janice May Udry’s book “A Tree is Nice” to them, showing off the illustrations by Marc Simont. “We’re going to grow some really good readers out of all of you,” Childers told the children. The kids then made their own trees during arts and crafts time. Participants in the Dacusville Community Library’s summer reading program can earn rewards by keeping a log of the books they read this summer. Grand prizes will be given to outstanding readers at the end of the program. The Dacusville Community Library is located in the Dacusville Community Center, the former Dacusville Middle School building.
