Alamo City-Area Library Summer Reading Programs

Summer is upon us, and the name of the game is, “Keep the Kids Occupied.” Many schools send home reading tasks but reading should be for fun, too. The public libraries in the Alamo City and surrounding areas provide an option to occupy the kids and keep them learning all summer long.
