The Fountaindale Public Library is definitely reading on the Wild Side in its summer reading program.
I was at the library several days ago and there was a line of people signing up for the reading program that gives away free books, prizes and a chance to be entered into a drawing to win a family membership to Brookfield Zoo.
On the day that I was there, a librarian said she had signed-up 147 adults, 125 teens and 217 children - all in one day.
The program called "Read on the Wild Side" began June 8th. It challenges children, depending on their age to read 15 books or 15 hours by Aug. 15.
My kids are off and running in their summer reading, and I hope yours are too. See you around the Brook.
