Yes! The Summer Reading program kicks off May 22 in Salina. Do. Not. Miss. It.
Look for the Friends of Salina Public at the Kick-off!

For those who grew up in the 1990's, the announcement of Pizza Hut's BOOK IT! program making its summer return probably brings back fond memories of cashing in your reading certificate in exchange for your very own personal pan pizza. https://fox4kc.com/news/pizza-hut-brings-back-free-personal-pan-pizzas-for-summer-reading-program/
