The West Plains Public Library kicked off its summer reading program Tuesday morning with fun and games during its block party held at the south entrance. Children turned out to participate in the festivities and pick up their reading logs to keep track of all the books they read this summer. In the photo above, eighth-grader Jocelyn Cavitt, left, joins ninth-graders Cara Jacque, foreground center, and Megan Gorskey, right, in fun with bubbles. All three are from West Plains. In the photo at right, Aadhya Datar, left, Dev Sudan Pasricha, center, and Aarya Datar, sift for sea shells in the sand.
