Carnival 2009


Carnival 2009 (15)
Originally uploaded by HMMPL YOUTH
We had a great time at the End of Summer Carnival!

"Free tickets for a great big smile." The rain held off for most of our evening. Miss Julie held out through the rain for the last child wanting a balloon animal.

Many thanks to the dozens of volunteers and the Friends of the Library that help sponsor this free family event!

It has been a record breaking summer of reading in Youth Services!
We saw 1,486 children record 46,374 hours of reading during our eight week incentive program.

If you like statistics think about this....

The following are the average minutes per day read for each age group during the eight week summer reading program

Birth - 2nd Grade: 30 minutes a day

3rd Grade: 40 minutes a day

4th Grade: 45 minutes a day

5th Grade: 50 minutes a day

These are excellent results! Thanks for "Booking a Trip" to the library this summer!

We love you all!
