A success!

The last day of Summer Reading Program was 6/24. Parasol Puppets performed “The Singing Turtle” as described below:

In this unique interpretation of a Japanese folk tale, a young boy and his family find happiness and good fortune with the help of a talented turtle.

The kids were absorbed! For more information, visit their website www.parasolpuppets.com

Certificates were handed out. A total of 36 children completed the “Make a Splash, Read!” program for ages 3-9. T-Shirts were awarded to the child in each age group who read the most books. They were:

Paxton Age 3-4 11 Books
Ethan Age 5-7 12 Books
Tamra Age 8-9 55 Books

I had four children turn in reading logs for the Make Waves @ Your Library program, for ages 10+. The top readers in their age groups were:

Madison Age 10-12 1306 Minutes
