Imagination Library slates reading challenge in July

A weekly story time, at 10 a.m. every Wednesday for children up to age 5, will complement the challenge.

The Hopkinsville-Christian County Imagination Library will host a 30-day reading challenge in July to encourage local families to get their young children involved in books at an early age. 

The Summer Stories program is a collaboration between the local Imagination Library and the Save the Children Foundation. Participants are challenged to read at least 15 minutes every day in July and to attend a story time at 10 a.m. every Wednesday at the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library on Bethel Street. 

The library is providing reading logs so participants to keep track of their progress. 

The Imagination Library offers a free age-appropriate book every month for children from birth up to age 5. Families may register online. The books are delivered in the mail.
