It’s a big day Tuesday for Bowie Library’s Summer Reading program as Smokey the Bear makes a visit to the Bowie Community Center.
This year’s program theme, “Adventure begins at your library,” continues with the appearance of the big guy who teaches everyone about fire safety.
Summer reading is open to children ages 0-12. Children will be given a reading log and at the end of the season each child receives a book.

Friends of the Bowie Animal Shelter hosted an ice float fundraiser on June 28 helping local residents cool down with root beer and coke floats. Pictured serving up goodies are: Julie O’Neal, Valerie Evans, Joellen Stark and Chesney Bullard.
