What a wonderful summer we had! More than fourteen hundred children signed up for the summer reading program. And those kids read 11,104 books! That is a great achievement. If you visited the library any time from June through August you probably saw (or heard) some of the thousands of children who visited the library every week. It might not have been completely silent, but the library was certainly a place of creative, exciting learning. Each week children made art projects under the skilled direction of local artists, they listened to stories, performed in a drama group, and watched movies in the cool library.
Seeing the busy, involved children made an impression on many people. Even the tiny person who inhabits the area under the display case in the children’s area was affected. One day in the last week of August, after most of the children were back in school, we found a tiny note on the Youth Help Desk addressed to “The Huge Kids.” It was from our tiny
inhabitant, Hobs, thanking the children for a wonderful and entertaining summer. If you would like to read the letter, or see the statistics for our busy summer reading program, please stop at the Youth Help Desk and we would be glad to show you.
