ALBANY, GA (WALB)- The chief judge of Dougherty County's Superior Court opened an East Albany summer reading program Tuesday morning.

Dozens of excited kids listened as Judge Willie Lockette read books to them. It was the kickoff of the 14th annual Reading Under The Big Top Summer Camp, sponsored by the J. L. Litman Memorial Funeral Service on East Clark Avenue.

Shirley Litman, a teacher for 30 years, hosts the reading camp each summer and thinks good role models like Judge Lockette help.
