Bandera Electric Cooperative (BEC) continues its commitment to supporting education and community enrichment by awarding grants to local libraries for their Summer Reading Programs. This year, BEC has provided $1,250 to each of the following libraries: Bandera Kronkosky Public Library, Comfort Public Library, Lakehills Area Library, Medina Community Library, and Real County Public Library, totaling $6,250 in grants.

Summer Reading Programs play a vital role in promoting literacy and fostering a love for reading among children and families during the summer break. With the theme "Adventure Starts at the Library," this year's programs promise exciting adventures through the pages of books and the activities offered by the libraries.

Each library will host its own unique set of events and activities tailored to engage and inspire readers of all ages. There will be storytelling sessions, special guest appearances, and themed parties, something for everyone to enjoy. To ensure you don't miss out on the fun, be sure to check out the respective calendars of events for each library and mark your calendars accordingly.

The funds provided by BEC will be utilized by the libraries to hire entertainment, purchase supplies, and acquire other necessary resources to make their Summer Reading Programs a resounding success. These programs not only encourage reading but also provide valuable opportunities for social interaction, learning, and creativity during the summer months.

By supporting these Summer Reading Programs, BEC reaffirms its dedication to promoting education, fostering community engagement, and enriching the lives of residents in the areas it serves. The cooperative recognizes the importance of investing in initiatives that contribute to the intellectual and cultural development of local communities.

As summer approaches, we encourage families to take advantage of these wonderful programs offered by their local libraries. Whether you're embarking on a literary adventure or simply looking for a fun and educational way to spend your summer days, the Summer Reading Programs have something for everyone to enjoy.

Bandera Electric Cooperative extends its gratitude to the participating libraries for their tireless efforts in organizing these programs and to the community for their continued support. Together, we can make this summer a memorable and enriching experience for readers of all ages.
