The Children’s Summer Reading Program wrapped up a great season with a party at the Library on July 12 and a Swim Party on July 13.
There were 118 children signed up and 73 children completed their reading goals for the program. Those children read a total of 2,145 books!
During the Reading Program, the children were entertained by Professor B. Looney, enjoyed a Craft Night and were awed by Illusionist Kevin Clouse. At the Awards Ceremony and party, the Amazing Christopher made sure that every child had a balloon animal of their choice to take home with them.
Winners of the bicycles were Rebekah Horrocks and James Zanfardino.
