will provide a diverse selection of music to the park,” said Kelli Nesbitt, marketing coordinator for the city’s Parks & Recreation Department.

“May 3 is a great way to kick off Cinco De Mayo with a performance from Del Castillo, an Austinbased Latin rock band.”

Johnson is expected to bring a large crowd, Nesbitt added, with Texas country music, such as his popular song, “Dance Her Home.”

Wertz’s songs are soulful, singer-songwriter pop music. He has played with artists such as Ben Folds, Jamie Cullum and One Republic.

Nesbitt said the music series started 13 years ago, when the city

partnered with College Station Utilities to bring large-scale concerts to “a hometown venue.”

There are no seats at the amphitheater, so guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets if they wish. They can also bring coolers (48 quarts or smaller) containing refreshments, but glass containers are not allowed.

“Bring your family and friends to enjoy a night of music under the stars,” Nesbitt said. “While food will be available for purchase, concert-goers are welcome to bring a picnic supper to enjoy, as well as lawn chairs or blankets for seating.”

Besides refreshments, souvenir shirts will also

be on sale. Parking is available at Post Oak Mall, and handicap parking will be located off of Colgate Drive.

For more information, including music samples from the artists and links to their websites, visit cstx.gov/starlight.

hold summer programs for kids Several children’s programs will be offered at libraries and museums in the Bryan-College Station area to help keep kids active and engaged during the summer break.

Libraries The Bryan-College Station Library System will offer several programs this summer. In addition to these programs, the Clara B. Mounce Public Library and the Larry J Ringer Library will offer summer reading logs for children to keep track of how many days they spend reading.

Reading logs can be picked up at either library from May 19 through July 31, and children have until Aug. 31 to turn in completed reading logs. Logs are complete after 30 days of reading, which do not have to be consecutive; children also aren’t required to read for a certain amount of time each day, librarian Kendra Perkins said.

Perkins said children should continue reading during the summer.

“Research shows that schoolaged children who do not read throughout the summer will experience a serious loss in reading achievement, resulting in a gap that widens with every successive school year, Perkins said. “In an effort to remedy this, the Bryan-College Station Library System is once again offering its annual Summer Reading Program. These free and fun educational events are designed to keep every child in our community learning and reading all summer long.”

Larry J. Ringer Library The Larry J. Ringer Library, 1818 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South in College Station, will hold several children’s programs and family events over summer break.

“Our annual Exploring History Summer Camp program is a fun and educational way to engage with students and increase their awareness and understanding of history, government and other important subjects,” said Monica Lerma, education specialist at

the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum. “This year’s camp, ‘Fueling the Future’ ties in with our new exhibit ‘Offshore Drilling: The Promise of Discovery’ and challenges students to think about our energy usage and sources now and in the future.”

Each week-long camp will feature “Energy and Me” – types of energy on day one; “Renewable Resources” – solar, wind, hydro power, biomass” on day two; “Non-Renewable Resources” – fossil fuels and coal on day three; “Petroleum” – off-shore drilling on day 4; and “Conservation” on day five.

According to the museum’s website, activities will include science experiments, field trips and art class. Children will learn about energy conservation, renewable and non-renewable resources and where energy comes from, and they will get an in-depth look at petroleum and offshore drilling.

This camp is geared for children ages 7 to 11, and is $30 per

day. For more information or to register for this camp, visit http://bushlibrary.tamu.edu/ education/summer_programs. php.
