Registration begins today for the Jacksonville Public Library Summer Reading Program. The library will offer an exciting line up of free theater, music and art programs at several locations. Programs begin June 13.

School is almost out and the library is well prepared to keep the minds of little ones, tweens, or teens active and engaged during the summer months. The library’s Summer Reading Program can help them maintain the literacy skills they acquired during the school year through a variety of activities and programs in a relaxing and fun learning environment.

Publix Super Markets throughout the area, are partnering with Produce for Kids® on the largest-ever annual Get Healthy, Give Hope campaign to raise money for local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and to encourage families to cook together and eat healthier.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Family and friends held a vigil and released balloons on Jacksonville's Eastside Tuesday night, in memory of bail bondsman Antonio Cooks.
    
Police shot and killed the father of four last week.  Another bondsman was critically injured in that same incident.
    
According to police, the bondsmen were looking for a wanted suspect when the shooting took place at the Mayfair Village Apartments.
    
Relatives said they still don't know what really happened, and said they aren't placing the blame on anyone at this time.  They told First Coast News they just want more information.
    
The State Attorney's Office is now looking into whether anyone violated any laws.
