The library staff held our end of the summer reading program party for the children today at the local park. It was a bit warm but the breeze and the shade helped a lot! About 150 children played the games and spent their winnings at the library store. The children look forward to the grand finale and save up their library bucks to get merchandise from our library store. In the store we have books, school supplies, as well as mixture of other items. Due to the generosity of the local businesses we had super prizes to give to the children that read the most for the past 2 months. We had 2- MP 3 players, a scooter, large easel, remote control cars to mention a few. All the children that read were eligible for additional prizes: 2 $50.00 savings bonds, 10 movie tickets, 2 personal pizzas, 4 sundaes, 5 Barnes and Noble gift certificates.
We would like to thank our dedicated volunteers that always been faithful about saving a day in July to come and help. Without their dedication we could not put on our party. I have included pictures of them in this blog. Tommorrow I will post more pictures.
