The Jefferson County Library’s Summer Reading Program theme this year is “Imagine Your Story” and let your imagination soar!  Reading is a great summer pastime and if you keep track of the books you read – you qualify for prizes.  Turn in your Reading Logs for the Grand Prize Drawings by August 28th.

For those who missed the July 15 tax deadline and didn’t request an extension, the Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers that they should file electronically as soon as possible. You have until October 15th to file.  Electronic filing options include IRS Free File available on IRS.gov.

KWSO’s Coming Home: Warm Springs project encourages storytelling via video as a way to celebrate our community.  This is a part of a nationwide grant, funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.  We’ve gotten started by posting a series of articles on our website about learning to be a digital storyteller.  Go to KWSO dot ORG and click on the COMING HOME TRAINING BLOG.

For news and useful information with a local lens – KWSO is public media, serving listeners and those connecting online.
