Summer Reading Challenge Accepted – by 516 Kids This Year!
Summer is zooming past us like it does every year. It seems like as soon as we get into the swing of things it’s time for back to school, pumpkins and Christmas trees.
We have been super busy in the Children’s Department with the Summer Reading Program and awesome summer events. We have hit a new record this summer with 516 kids signed up so far for the Super Heroes, Super Readers Summer Reading Program.
The Summer Reading Program will be coming to an end on July 31, and kids have been reading and turning in their prize tickets like crazy! It is great to see such a great response and excitement for reading! What an accomplishment for these children to complete the Summer Reading Program challenge of reading 600 minutes!
It has also been a treat to see them at all of our summer events here at the Library. This week we had a Local superhero meet and greet with Storytime on Wednesday at 10:30 AM and next week will finish our programs with a comic book instruction class. The class will be held on Wednesday July 28 and will be led by Unbound comic creator Doug Laubacher. You can find this comic featured in The Bargain Hunter.
It’s been a great summer so far, and we are looking forward to an awesome fall!
