The theme for the 2021 Bowie Library Summer Reading program is “Tails & Tales,” setting sail on June 1 for a two-month sail.
Summer reading takes place at 10 a.m. on Tuesday mornings during June and July. All ages are welcome and it is free to the public.
This program encourages reading for young people throughout the summer offering incentives and prizes for those who submit and complete a reading log.
The Bowie News is joining the fun by providing Castaway Cove tickets. Each youngster who turns in a reading log will have their name entered into a drawing for the tickets at the News office.
The tickets will not be given away during the first week or last week.
The schedule for June will be as follows: June 1, Rise Performing Arts at The Story Walk in Pelham Park. “Giraffes Can’t Dance;” June 8, movie, “Call of the Wild” at the Bowie Community Center, popcorn provided; June 15, craft day at the library making zoo animal beaded necklaces; June 22, Amazing Magical Balloon Show at the community center and June 29, craft day at the library color your own zoo animal mask.

On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
