Foundation supports 2017 youth summer reading programs
The Ike Skelton Combined Arms Research Library's annual
summer reading program kicked off with a party on June 2. The
theme for the summer was "Reading by Design." The theme
was intentionally broad, but its focus was on engineering,
architecture, science and other artistic endeavors involving
design.
The library hosted several events throughout the summer

and concluded the 2017 program on July 28 with a visit from
Mad Science, a Kansas City based organization that provides
science enrichment programs to children in kindergarten
through grade six.
The CGSC Foundation supports the summer reading
program every year with generous sponsorship from the JE
Dunn Construction Company.
