Youngsters in New Bremen are kicking off the summer with reading and fun. The New Bremen Public Library kicked off its annual summer reading program with a party for kids of all ages to interact with the community. As the kids arrived, they had the chance to read books, play games, and get creative with coloring. The library also provided hot food and refreshments for families to enjoy. The New Bremen Fire Department, police department, EMS, and local trucking companies were on hand for the Touch a Truck program. The free program runs from June 1st through July 15th, and there is no deadline to register. As times and technology change, getting kids to read has become more of a challenge—a challenge that the library doesn't shy away from.
