The Summer Reading Program is underway a Boonslick Regional Library. Children of all ages are able to sign up for the Summer Reading Program for a chance to win prizes from the library and local businesses across Sedalia.
When I was a kid, I used to haunt the libraries here in town like it was my job. I still remember the smell of the books in our local libraries and the excitement when I'd find a book I'd never read before. As I got older, I got into owning my own books. I took a small little sense of pride in knowing that these books were all a part of my history and education.
You know, it's a strange thing, but I've never sat down and thought about the idea of work. I guess it was just always assumed that I'd get a job, since I'm not independently wealthy or something. It's almost something taken for granted.
One of the things we always stress to little ones is to read and keep reading. And that's great, it's absolutely essential. But the kids aren't the only ones who need to read.
