So much more than books
As we prepare to start the new school year, we at MJB Library are reflecting on the summer library events. We are happy to report that the Summer Reading Program was a great success. Sixty preschool through middle school children signed up for the Summer Reading Program. The three to four programs we hosted each week were well attended. Readers submitted completed bingo sheets that had reading activities, scavenger hunts, and bookmarks where they logged their weekly reading minutes. Of the 21 bookmarks turned in, our readers read a total of 28,470 minutes during June. Great job to all those SRP participants who worked so hard to keep their reading skills sharp this summer.
