Summer Reading Wrap-up!
We enjoyed our Be Creative @ Your Library reading program this summer.
There were 235 players in the older program (grades 2-6) and 69 players in
the Read to Me program (ages 4 – grade 1) for a total of 304 children who
participated at both Bill and Gales Ferry Libraries. The older children
read 167,640 minutes and the younger children read 2500 books!
In addition to the reading programs, we had a Sidewalk Chalk Contest,
Preschool Story time, Lunch and a Movie, Family Game Nights, Building Set
Day, Arts and Crafts Display, Dance Workshop, Bob Conrad puppet and
magician, Chess Club, Drop in Craft days, Cartoonist, Cow Lady author, DB
Magic with Bogus the Clown, and our finale was “Ledyard’s Got Talent” with
a fantastic group of performers from our own friends!
- This selection of Homework
Helpers makes schoolwork fun. (Really!!)
