COPPER COUNTRY HOME EDUCATORS UPDATES
Summer Reading Program Begins at Portage Library 
Opening day activities and registration for the Portage Lake District Library Summer Reading Program begins Saturday, June 12, from noon- 3:00 p.m. Kids are invited to make crafts and everyone can create their own ice cream sundae in the community room.

The "Make a Splash at Your Library: Dive into a Good Book!" Summer Reading Program will continue through Saturday, August 14, and people may register throughout the summer. Participants will receive a reading log and bookmark when they register and a book when they have completed their reading log. The Summer Reading Program is open to all ages, children through adults, and reading logs may include books, magazines, audio books, reading to young children, or being read to.
 The Summer Reading Program series of events includes Storytimes with Maria Sliva every Wednesday from 11:00 – noon. The Houghton High School Key Club will also present Storytimes and a craft on days to be announced. Look for listings of programs and events in the library, the media, on Facebook, and at www.pldl.org.
