The Price City Library is a valuable and unique resource where residents can find books and other forms of media. One of the great things that the library offers is various reading programs for children. Currently, there is a program that is underway that will be offered for four more weeks through the USU Extension Office entitled Food, Fun & Reading.
“We have a lady that comes in and she reads with the children, reads a healthy story about healthy eating and she also does an activity and prepares a snack for them and it’s always healthy,” said Library Coordinator, Tawnya Kulow. This program is open for preschoolers through second grade and their parents. The free lessons are presented twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays at 11:00 am and last approximately one hour. This event is to introduce children to healthy eating habits. For further information on the Food, Fun & Reading program email heathercloward@usu.edu

Other services available are a fax machine, interlibrary loans, free wi-fi, laptops for in house use only, newspapers, digital downloads, research assistance, and photo, computer, and other copying services for a small fee.
