IRONWOOD - At least 80 children signed up for the "On your mark, Get set ... Read" summer program Thursday afternoon at the Ironwood Carnegie Library.
Assistant library director Lynne Wiercinski said a record number of children came to the library to pick up their reading logs and start reading "awesome" books.
Wiercinski said the program's theme encourages kids to live a healthy lifestyle and is fun for everyone.
The logs were accompanied with a jump rope and a pedometer.
At the kick-off event, children played games, decorated a water bottle holder to take home and had refreshments.
