There’s still time to join the Cortez Public Library’s Summer Reading Program, which runs until Aug. 19. Drop by and pick up a reading log and read for books and prizes. There will be a drawing for seven prizes at the end of the program.

Also, listen to the library’s radio program Library on the Go! for a half-hour and then add an hour on their reading log. You may listen to the show every Sunday at 3:30 p.m. on KSJD, 90.5 and 91.5 FM radio, or listen to archived shows on ksjd.org/programs/library-go or monteloresecc.org.
