Area libraries are readying their summer reading programs, which aim to keep young minds focused on learning — in a fun way — during the summer break from school.

Programs at the Whatcom County Library System and the Bellingham Public Library both kick off June 6. Details are at the library websites, wcls.org and bellinghampublicibrary.org. Find the county program under the “For Kids” and “For Teens” section on the wcls.org front page. Find the Bellingham program under “Children” at the Bellingham site.
