Summer Reading Challenge

Salem Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge is underway. Earn rewards and chances at prizes by signing up and tracking the time you spend reading or listening to books. The library also offers a listening club for pre-readers and their parents to encourage the continued development of early literacy skills that babies, toddlers, and preschoolers need in order to become readers. Sign up here.

Salem Poetry Project

Go to share, go to listen, or go to discover a side of Salem you may not have known existed. 7 p.m. Thursdays at Bush Barn Annex, 600 Mission St SE. facebook.com/SalemPoetryProject/
