SIOUX CITY<\/a>, Iowa (KCAU<\/a>) \u2014 There\u2019s never a bad time to pick up a new book and the Sioux City Public Library held a press conference on Friday to talk about all their upcoming events.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s summer reading is \u201cPlant a Seed and Read.\u201d The program runs from June 1st to the end of July.<\/p>\n

Adrienne Dunn with the library says the value of summer reading leaves an impact on kids long after the book is over.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen kids come to the library, they see that their community cares for them, that they\u2019re not alone, it\u2019s not just their isolated family. Their whole community is there for them and we enjoy being a part of that here in Sioux City, Dunn said.<\/p>\n

We also asked Dunn how the cuts to the library\u2019s funding impacts these programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still trying to work just as hard to offer those same excellent services to the community because that\u2019s super important to us and we really want to make sure the community gets the resources they deserve and they do deserve a fantastic summer reading program,\u201d Dunn said.<\/p>\n

The library has a summer reading celebration event planned for June 4 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the library\u2019s downtown location.<\/p>\n
