My 2 sons and I went on Saturday and we had a blast. The kids loved the games and couldn’t collect the tickets fast enough. We had even called our different family members to meet us there and the entire family had a great time. As far as our Summer Reading Program logs, the kids are half way through the first half as they are reading at least 30 minutes a day. And I have gone to extra lengths to let the kids “catch me reading”. It makes them want to pick up a book all the more.
The grandchildren have participated in the summeyr reading for years. They have had so much fun and love the competition between the grade schools for most hours spent reading. My granddaughter called me in April to make sure I would take them to sign up for the program this summer.
We just moved back to the area from Clinton. Its such a joy to have such a nice, open space to go to like the Fairmount Branch. We are taking full advantage of all the activities.
