Reading Is Fundamental

The Martha’s Vineyard Library Association kicks off its summer reading series for kids with a big bash on Saturday, July 2 at the Agricultural Hall in West Tisbury. And because the library association understands that although reading is serious business and best cultivated when kids are young (electronics free vacation anyone?) the party will not be solely word-driven. Face painting begins at 10 a.m. and clown Bill Ross performs beginning at 11 a.m.

Admission to the event is $3. Face painting is $1 per face.
