East Lansing Public Library's kick-off to the children's children's summer reading program has begun!
The theme for this summer is One World Many Stories.
Children receive "passports" to log their weeks of reading in. At the end of each week, children have to go to ELPL to pick up their prize.
The program is free and started this past week on June 13th and ends August 6th.
Various local businesses have donated to ELPL's summer reading program, and support it each year. The library would like to acknowledge Panera Bread of Frandor Shopping Center, Tasty Twist of East Lansing, City of East Lansing Aquatic CenterNCG Cinemas of EastwoodGrand Traverse Pie Company,  and Curious Book Shop/Archives Book Shop of East Lansing.
These local businesses provide the incentive prizes for the library to give away to the children. Prizes range from Panera Bread bagel coupons, to Tasty Twist coupons, and even free day passes to the City of East Lansing Aquatic Center.
Supporting the reading program really brings the community together, said Todd Powell from Panera Bread. Powell said that this summer was Panera's 5th year of contributing to ELPL.
