Book worms

Community libraries are often an under-appreciated public resource until you need emergency access to a book on potty training your new puppy or providing a few precious minutes to your toddler minus the Rug Rats cartoons and Pixy Stix commercials. Luckily, the multitude of periodicals, literature and children's books available at the Durango Public Library provides a healthy variety of topics to spur the imagination and educate the most informed readers. Furthermore, the Durango Library is kicking off its summer reading program entitled "Discover Crazy New Trails at Your Library." The program encourages kids to continue reading through the summer months. So, take the kids and get your own mental synapses firing again with a little help from the folks at your local library.
