The 2008 Summer Reading Party was held the evening of July 29th. 226 kids, ages 1-18, had registered for the program which began on June 14th. The party was attended by approximately 125 people, including family and friends of reading program participants. Each and every participant was able to choose a prize and a brand new book to take home. Readers were divided into 3 categories, by age. The teen reader who read the greatest number of miutes (31,800 minutes) was Kassandra Verbridge. The intermediate reader who read the most (6,600 minutes) was Sabrina Verbridge. The primary reader who read the most (1,800 minutes) was Madeline Schaertl. The party featured 2 pinatas and a huge cake. We were also able to raffle off a Guitar Hero Aerosmith bundle which was won by the Sean Schumacher family. Lots and lots of fun was had by all who joined us for the party. The Friends of the Library funded the incredible party. Thanks, Friends! This community really "CAUGHT THE READING BUG" this summer.
