From The Staff - What We Loved About Summer Reading...


Here in the Children's Room we have been slightly saddened to see summer reading come to an end. We have so many wonderful memories of the exciting events, of the many cheerful faces at our desk, and of the pure excitment of reaching reading milestones the last eight weeks. Therefore we would like to take this opportunity to share with you our personal favorite memories:

"The Monster Hunt was so much fun; it was wonderful to see the children so enthusiastic in the library, working with each other and using the library's resources to find clues and decipher codes to ultimately track down the hidden monster. It was a great start to summer!" - Sue Ann

"My favorite memory was making indoor s'mores at the Campfire Tales program. With everyone bringing their flashlisghts and towels to hear the scary stories, the s'mores topped off the evening and proved you don't need a fire to enjoy that camping feeling." - Jessikah

"My favorite summer memory was when the kids came in for their weekly reading prizes. They were all so excited to write their books on the summer reading logs! It was very cute." - Josephine

"My favorite summer memory was when I unexpectedly became part of the Chip Bryant Listening With Your Eyes closing program. It was so much fun to be up on stage looking out at all the laughing, smiling children and their parents while dancing and clowning with Chip. As with every year, I also really enjoyed getting to know all of the kids and their names as they came in weekly to fill out their Summer Reading Club records and see their joyful reactions to getting their prizes. I can't wait until next summer!" - Amy

"Summer reading went fast in the Children's Room. I'd have to say that my fondest memory this summer is watching the Lego Club participants work together by encouraging, helping, and sharing with one another. I looked forward to that hour on Wednesday afternoons where there was a room full of smiling faces, creative energy and teamwork." - Nadine
