Read-A-Thon
We have an
exciting summer reading program until September 27th. We would like
for you to join in the fun. Have you
noticed the reading chart by the Library? We now have over 32 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.
