Registration is underway for the “Prime Time Family Reading Program” being offered by the George Coon Public Library.
Rebecca Poole with the library says the program will be held on six Tuesday nights beginning next Tuesday evening, August 23 at 6:30. She explains this fun program is for parents, grandparents and children.
Stacey Menser, who is the scholar and leads the discussion every night, the program is a project of the Kentucky Humanities Council where families come together to have dinner and then read children’s books to start discussions about humanity issues.
