Registration is now open for the Taylorville Public Library’s summer reading program. The program this year is called “Plant a Seed… Read,” as library leadership hopes to further grow a passion for reading among community members.  A variety of events – both literature-related and otherwise – await participants this summer.

Audrey Miller is the new youth services coordinator at the Taylorville Public Library.  She says the local passion for agriculture is part of what inspired the title of this year’s summer reading program. 

The library is still seeking donors and sponsors for the program.  Anyone interested in doing so can call the library at (217) 824-4736 or visit them at 121 West Vine Street. 

Planning for the summer reading program started later than usual, due largely to the timing of Miller’s arrival at the Taylorville Public Library.

Audrey Miller and Erin Crommett, the latter of whom is the adult and outreach coordinator, have a multi-faceted approach to informing the community about the summer program.

Separate from the program, the library now has a teen advisory board.  They hope to recruit more members to better advocate for teens with respect to the library’s offerings.
