MILO — The children’s summer reading program theme this year is “On your mark, get set … READ!” Sign-up week is June 20-24 . The program will run for five weeks beginning June 27 with a final party on July 29 .

A gentleman contacted me in March regarding sending used children’s books to him in Taiwan. He is originally from Illinois and has a business near the elementary school of 200 students. He has volunteered to help reinforce the kids’ basic language skills. Picture books for grades 1-3 are best. We sent him five books and he greatly appreciated it. If anyone is interested, please contact me here at the library and I can give you his name, e-mail address and shipping information.

Kathy’s pick is “Go Green”, a book that could have a green cover or the word green in the title. Come and check out the selected variety.

We have many donated puzzles (500 to 1,000 pieces), DVD’s, VHS movies and books on CD. They can be checked out just like a book.

There have been many more books added to our books for sale. We are running an ongoing special sale — all book are 10 cents each.

Questions, call 943-2612 or e-mail us at milolibrary@trcmaine.org.
