A curious 4th grader is excited to learn that his team has read more hours this summer!

The race can change the last two weeks of summer. August 8th is the final date to record hours read up to August 1st. We want to make sure everyone who has been on vacation can visit the library to record their hours.

The Grand Prize winner of a TRIP TO CARIBBEAN COVE HOTEL on Michigan Rd. will be announced at the Carnival August 7th.

Preschoolers will receive a raffle ticket every 25 hours read and Grade School students will receive a raffle ticket at 50 hours...then another one every 25 hours.

The summer reading program will continue until August 1st!

If you are on vacation through August 8th you can still report the hours you read up to August 1st. You may also pick up prizes while they last until August 8th.

See if you can figure out which group has read more on average this summer. Divide the number of hours by the number registered. One group has averaged reading 32+ hours the first six weeks. Tell a librarian if you know which one.

The first 10 people (including parents) to tell a Youth Reference Librarian will receive a box of chocolates :)
One family has recieved their box of chocolate. How about you?

We are off to a great start this summer. Since June 4th (less than 2 weeks) over 800 children have picked up their 3 Hour Prize... A Compass Key Chain . It has been very busy!

If you click on the picture of the Smencils you will see other prizes we have in the Treasure Island Prize Room. Every five hours that you record you are able to choose a book or prizes as different levels.

See you soon!

My goal is to try to read all the books by Jules Verne this summer. I just finished Around the World in 80 Days. I found out they never did travel by balloon in the book. It was only mentioned as an idea. The movies created a different story.

What are your reading goals?

Try to read and record at least 5 hours by June 13th to enter our first weekly raffle. Every week that you record at least 5 hours you will have a raffle ticket for prizes drawn on Mondays.

Happy Reading!
