Librarian’s Report
Summer Reading Program had 92 kids sign up but quite a few never even showed up
to get a bag. Next year we are going to meet people where they are and try to improve
to ensure participation. One idea is not to tie activities to specific age groups. Another
idea is to spread the activities out over the whole summer.
Teen and Adult Summer Reading was a huge success—-61 participants and 496
entries for the raffle! A lot of positive feedback from patrons on events and themes this
year. One new hire at the desk and one resignation.
