                        “STORIES IN THE PARKS” READING PROGRAM
 The Williams County Public Library will again bring their reading program to the parks this summer and will be visiting
a site near you. We encourage kids and teens to read throughout the summer to keep up the skills they have learned dur-
ing the school year. Story Times in the Parks are at 10:00 AM, in case of inclement weather stories will be at the li-
brary, tentative dates and locations are as follow:
Friday, June 11th at Hitt Park
Friday, June 18th at Mattie Marsh Park
Friday, June 25th at Moore Park
Friday, July 9th at Garver Park
Friday, July 16th at East End Park
Friday, July 23rd at Roseland Park
Studies show that children who do not practice what they have learned in school over the summer face a decline in their
abilities by fall, an academic backslide that affects aptitude in reading as well as other subjects. The library’s summer
programs enhance lifelong learning and provide meaningful, enjoyable experiences that are available to all ages and all
members of the community. Starting Monday, May 2nd families can come in, sign up, and get a bag and bookmark to
use for the summer. Summer Reading programs start the week of June 7th and run through July 29th. Regular story
times will also be available at the library starting the second week of June on Mondays at 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. For a
complete list of the library’s summer programs, stop in at the main location on High Street and ask for a flyer or contact
the library at 1-833-633-7323.
DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS, REGISTRATION IS CURRENTLY REQUIRED FOR ALL LIBRARY PRO-
GRAMS, AS PROGRAM SIZE IS LIMITED. PLEASE CONTACT THE LIBRARY AHEAD OF TIME TO RESERVE
YOUR PLACE.

The Parks & Recreation Department will be using a SEASON PASS or PUNCH CARD system this summer at both
pools. Pool Passes and punch cards will be sold in the Parks and Recreation Office starting May 10th; no
swim lessons will be sold in the office. By purchasing a punch card, patrons receive discounts on daily
admissions. Persons must either present a season pass, punch card, or pay with cash to be admitted each
day. Daily admission to either of Bryan’s two pools is still the most economical ticket to recreational fun that
a person can buy. Come and enjoy the sparkling blue waters of Moore and East End Pools this summer. See
