School's out; northern Wisconsin libraries fill with children, teens

ANTIGO - Parents in the Northwoods may find themselves in a challenging spot this time of year. Now that school's out, they need to keep kids occupied for the summer.

"Communities need some place for kids to go to in the summertime," Antigo Public Library Director Cynthia Taylor. "There are a lot more working parents, a lot of kids that, if they don't have someplace to go, they're sitting at home."
