Looking for something to keep your kids busy this summer? You’re in luck because In Morgantown and Butler County, there are many activities to keep boredom at bay. 

According to Penny the Peacock, official ambassador of the Butler County Public Library, the Summer Reading Challenge begins today! “For ages 13 and under, read 6 books during the month of June and July, fill out a reading log (provided at the library) make your own and turn in at the library! You will get something out of the treasure chest for every log turned in! Then your log will go in for a chance at weekly prizes! Make sure your name and phone number are on the log so we can contact you if you are a winner of any of the drawings! You can read and turn in as many logs as you want. Just read those books this summer!”  

The BCPL will also have programs and activities for kids throughout June and July. To keep up with the happenings at the library you can click here or here.
