He joined Mayor Jim Shaw, school superintendent Pete Wharton and others who read to children in honor of reaching the halfway point of the year's Summer Reading Program. At right, special guests at the reading program were explorers Lewis and Clark, played by library employees Chris Getz, shown, and Jared Likness. They brought treats for the youngsters, including Adam Jerzak, 3.
