The Summer Reading Program at the Wareham Library is set to kick off on Tuesday, July 7 with an "Every Hero has a Story" reading event.

Children will have the chance to meet their favorite local heroes and get their autographs, plant in community garden, get their face painted and zoom around the Library's "story walk". Children are encouraged to come dressed up as their favorite super hero.
