KIXE PBS

It's summertime, and that means summertime reading!

With the help of the Redding Rancheria and First 5 Shasta, we stopped by some local little free libraries and delivered some great books for the little ones.

Come check out these books if you live near any of these spots, and if you have a little free library you'd like us to stop by next, please let us know in the comments.

We hope you all have some fun reading this summer!
