Summer Reading Bash







The Summer Reading Bash was held last night, August 8th. We had 183 kids, from ages 1 - 18, sign-up for our New York State Summer Reading program this year called Get a Clue @ your library. About 100 Summer Reading participants and their family members came to the party last night. We gave out prizes and new books to every reader with Miguel Benito reading 108 books in the age 1-6 group, Sabrina Verbridge reading 234 books in the 7-12 age group and Kassandra Verbridge reading 31 books in the teen group. 2 pinatas were broken with candy raining down from the library ceiling. Then, everyone then enjoyed a delicious cake and punch. The bash ended with a free raffle drawing for a brand new Nintendo DS Lite! Our lucky winner was Erin Hurley. It was a totally awesome time - ask anyone who was here. Prizes and refreshments were provided by the Friends of the Red Jacket Community Library.
