Looking for fun things to do this summer? Participate in the Summer Reading Program at Landrum Library. The Children’s Summer Reading Program is for birth through age 12 and runs from June 2 to July 31. Kids read books, fill in their reading records and earn prizes. There are no reading lists so everyone can read what they want. Visit any Spartanburg County library location to register and pick up a reading record. Completed reading records may be turned in between July 1 and July 31. Participants can register any time after June 3 but reading records have to be turned in by July 31.
