Summer reading programs for youth and adults will be offered through the Lincoln County Public Libraries.

Promoting reading with the theme, “Be Creative @ Your Library,” preschoolers through young adults can explore the world of music, dance, art, books and more through the summer program. Participants are encouraged to sign up starting June 2 to take part in various programs, storytimes, the opportunity to win prizes, and more.

Along with the read-at-home portion, programs will be held at the Libby Library on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. starting June 9. Troy Library programs will be held on Wednesdays at 2 p.m. starting June 10.

Adults are invited to participate in their own summer reading program. Participants will be asked to read six books of their choosing over the course of the program. When adults register, they will receive a reading log to record their books.

For every two books read, adults will receive a ticket for a community prize drawing. After adults have read six books and have turned in their reading log, they will receive a ticket to a drawing for an additional prize and a coupon for a free book courtesy of the Friends of the Library Book Sale.  

For a complete schedule, including specific activities, see the online calendar at www.lincolncountylibraries.com or call the library at 293-2778.

Troy Softball Takes Two From Drummond

The Drummond High School softball team rolled into Troy Saturday with high hopes of ending a long streak of being on the wrong end of the score, and for half of the first game of the doubleheader, looked like they had every chance of doing just that. However the host Trojans exploded for nine runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, and then shut down Drummond in the top of the fifth, winning 14-3. Troy kept the bats hot in the second game, plating 21 runs to end that game early as well, 21-11.
