Read-A-Thon

We have an exciting summer reading program until September 27^th. We would like for you to join in the fun. Have you noticed the reading chart by the Library? We now have over 54 names on it. Folks from age 3 to 87 are getting into the fun of reading books and enjoying videos from the Library. There is a great selection available so why not visit the library, pick up some books or a video and join in the excitement? There are a variety of prizes such as gift cards from department stores, restaurants, grocery stores, and a variety of other items for children and adults to select from. If you read the New Testament in any version, it is the same as reading 3 books in the library. If you read the Old Testament in any version, it is the same as reading 10 books in the library.  If, for some reason your name is not on the poster please talk to one of the librarians.
