The Summer Reading Program Ended Today
Thank you to all who submitted their reviews for the 2011 Summer Reading Program! We had over 530 Adult entries, over 380 Teen entries, and 1067 Children's entries. This year has been the most successful to date.
Lots of work went into reviewing nearly 1,000 library items in at least 50 words. Oftentimes, patrons could be seen accessing the review binders, perhaps to see what others' opinions were on certain books or items, or just for curiosity's sake. Either way, interactive programs such as the Summer Reading Program are very beneficial and exciting for both the Library and the patron and we hope you had as much fun as we did working this program.
The adults chose from audio books, fiction, mystery, non-fiction, and dealer's choice (we pick it - you review it). Each winner, who was called today (7/29) around noon, will receive a Nook e-reader.
Teens must have chosen from the following: young adult fiction, young adult non-fiction, music, video, DVD, or audio book. There were two grand prizes: a Nook e-reader and a Nintendo 3DS. These winners were also informed.
The Children's Summer Reading Program was a little different: The children, aged 12 and under, logged hours of reading or being read to in order to enter for a weekly drawing. The reader (or parent) must create a set goal for a weekly number of hours of reading. Once this goal was met, a book was given away. Over 14,000 hours of reading were logged, which is very inspiring and very cool!
Thanks again to all who participated in this program. Congratulations to all the winners. We'll see you next summer, if you haven't melted by then.
