Daniel Boone Regional Library's 2011 summer reading programs will try to prove true the lesson a generation of readers learned from "Reading Rainbow": That through reading, "I can go anywhere. ... Take a look, it's in a book."

With themes like Tiny Travelers for infants to age 5, One World, Many Stories for children ages 5-12, You Are Here for teen readers and Novel Destinations for adults, this summer is all about exploring the world through reading.
