The Escanaba Public Library will kick off its summer schedule of programs on Wednesday, June 8, with several special events.

At 4:30 p.m., the Summer Reading Program will feature Joel Tacey and his Page Surfer Magic Show. Families are encouraged to come to the city council chambers and enjoy this highly-acclaimed entertainer.

Following the show, the Friends of the Escanaba Public Library’s annual Ice Cream Social makes a return to the north lawn of the library at 6 pm. Entertainment will be provided by the Escanaba City Band. Bad weather will move the event indoors.

In conjunction with both of these free events, there will be a Used Book Sale. Fiction, nonfiction, hardcover, and paperback books, as well as CDs and DVDs, will be $1 each. Proceeds go to the Friends of the Escanaba Public Library.
