MOULTRIE, Ga. — Summer reading programs aren’t just for kids anymore. The Moultrie Library will offer opportunities for adults to participate in Georgia’s collaborative reading program Build a Better World. There will be special programing and an adult-only reading incentive opportunity.

 MCCLS Summer Reading Bingo is a self-directed summer reading game for adults complete with an end-of-summer prize drawing. Patrons may pick up a bingo card from the Moultrie Library, the Doerun Library, or the Book Mobile. The challenge begins June 1 and ends on Aug. 31. Completed cards may be turned into one of the libraries. Each completed card serves as a ticket for a drawing of special library prizes. Winners will be announced Sept. 6.

Other events are planned throughout the month, too.

On Saturday, June 3, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., a Defensive Driving Course will be offered by AAA-certified instructor Elvis Christain. Christain has been training drivers for 35 years.

The class is designed to meet the information needs and interest of local drivers, the library said in a press release. Drivers who successfully complete the class may be eligible to receive insurance premium discounts. Each particpant should check with their own insurance company to ensure the company will honor this training.

The training will cost $25 per person and registration is requested. You may register at the library. Fees are due at the time of registration to ensure a place in the class.

The library will celebrate better living through stitching together on Saturday, June 10, from 10 a.m. to noon in the library auditorium by participating in World Wide Knit in Public Day.

“Whether you knit a little, or if you knit at home alone, or maybe you knit a lot, or perhaps you do not knit at all but enjoy other fabric art like crochet, embroidery, or lap quilting this is the event for you,” the library said. “Participants should bring your own projects and supplies. We will explore plans for continuing a needle craft group as a regular part of the library’s programing. The event is free and registration is not required.”

USDA representatives will present Keys to Home Ownership on Saturday, June 10, in the library’s classroom from 10 a.m. to noon. They will provide information about their Direct Home Loan program. Topics covered include: USDA Direct & Guaranteed Home Loan Program, 504 Repair Loan/Grant Program, Building Favorable Credit, and Affordable Energy Star Certified “Energy Efficient Home Building.” Everyone is welcome to this free program.

The library’s usual adult programing will continue in June. The 2nd Tuesday Book Club meets on June 13 from 11:30 to noon. The 2nd Tuesday Crafters will meet on June 13 from 6-7:30 p.m. This month’s craft will be “Button Acorns.” A materials fee of $5 is payable at the door. Registration is requested. The 2nd Saturday Game Group will meet on June 10 from 1-4:30 p.m. Play one of the library’s classic board games or bring your favorite.
