Summer Programs Set At Warminster Library

WARMINSTER, PA — The Warminster Township Free Library will be fighting the "summer slump" with a series of summer reading programs for students of all ages.

Library Director Tracey Reed said students can lose up to two grade levels of reading skill over the summer, but that they can stay sharp by spending as little as 20 minutes a day reading newspapers, magazines and books.

Here's a look at some of the events set this summer at the library, at 1076 Emma Ln.
