ThisVicksburg Summer Festival is being held on July 25,26 and 27 on the grounds of the historic village. This is a great event for the community and I encourage everyone to attend at least one day. I want to point out that the Lions Club will have Kidsight Vision Screening set-up. It is a free eye screening and it is very important for your child. Children with poor vision tend to do poorly in school and can also find learning boring or incomprehensible. I have been wearing glasses since I was eleven and I know what it is like to see the world with fuzzy vision. Here at the library we encourage reading because reading makes good students that retain what they learn longer. Without good eyesight, reading is unenjoyable and avoided no matter what your age. So take your children to the Summer Festival and get the free eyescreening plus there will also be children's games, clowns and a raffle for the children.
When you want to give a special gift or remember someone dear to you, a memorial donation is a perfect answer. The book you purchase for the occassion will have a bookplate placed on the inside of the book.
We have free copies of the South County News available at the library. This is a great paper as it covers the news in the Brady, Schoolcraft, Vicksburg and other areas in the south county area that are not covered by the Kalamazoo Gazatte. Read the South County News and get a subscription for this hometown paper.
That's it for this week, be safe and have a great time in the friendliest place in Michigan
John
