Ooh! Aah! Fabulous Prizes!

Did you have a good summer? We had a great summer, with 116 readers signed up for our Summer Reading Program. We got up close to a worm colony, thrilled to dueling medievalists, ate dirt sundaes, drew our favorite characters, made fish prints, and watched Hugo, among other things. Phew!

Now we’d like you to bring your reading records in so we can tally up and see just how much everyone read over the summer. Bring your record to the library, and you’ll have a chance to win one of three prizes in our Reading Record Return Raffle!
