Library Plans Summer Programs

Asummer reading program will take place at the St. Ignace Public Library Wednesday, July 11, through August 15, meeting every Wednesday at 3 p.m.

The reading program for older students, "Connect with Nature," is for grades third through fifth. It will be July 3 through July 31, meeting every Tuesday at 1 p.m. This 4-H program, facilitated by AnneMarie Askwith and Joyce Belonga, promotes environmental education and wellness, and was developed by Michael J. Cohen, author of "How Nature Works" and "Well Mind, Well Earth." Mr. Cohen's research suggests that reconnecting with nature is the way to wellness.

The 4-H program will include creative activities and a selfdesigned project which can be taken to the Luce-West Mackinac Fair. Upcoming sessions and topics will include "wildflowers" July 3, "rocks" July 10, "trees" July 17, "moving life" July 24, and "stars" July 31. Enrollment is limited, and the deadline to register is Friday, June 29. Call MSU Extension for more information at 643-7307.

Reading log sheets can be completed at the library throughout the summer and returned for prizes and entry in a drawing for book store gift certificates.

The St. Ignace Public Library will hold a book sale Saturday, July 7, from 10 a.m. to noon.
