2011 Grand Finale in the Park

The Kasson Public Library's summer reading program One World... Many Stories was a huge success. Over 525 children signed up for this exciting and fun-filled adventure.

Our Grand Finale in the Park was held on Wednesday, July 27 at 10:30 am. The over 250 children that attended this event had a great and fun time playing the games and spending the library bucks earned through reading the past eight weeks. We had one child read 200 hours and may attained 50-100 hours. WOW!!

Children's Librarian Ingvild Herfindahl worked very hard planning country story hours and crafts that pertained to the country. Many times at story time we had between 50-80 children at our storytimes. Sometimes crowded but fun nevertheless.

Without our volunteers the party in the park could not take place. We would like to thank all that helped us in the park. Thanks to staff member Donna for taking all of the wonderful pictures. These pictures and many more of our events can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kassonlibrary/
