This summer's vacation reading program is titled "Catch The Reading Bug." All of the branches within the Ocmulgee Regional Library System will have performers this summer to help entertain and educate the children participating in the vacation reading program. Since parents cannot always attend a performance at a certain library at a certain time, a comprehensive schedule of all the performances at each of the libraries is listed below.

Registration is not required to attend any of the performances.

Performances normally last between 45 to 60 minutes.

The staff of the Ocmulgee Regional Library System certainly hope you and your children will visit and participate often in the vacation reading program at any of the libraries within the system.
