  Bring unwrapped gift book in by Saturday December 5, 2009.
  
  Gift tags will be hanging on trees at both Bill and Gales Ferry Libraries. You may purchase a book for a child, or if you wish, the library will choose and purchase a book for a $12.00 donation. The books will be given out during the annual toy drive to Ledyard and Gales Ferry families in need.
  
  To participate, come into either library, give us your name, phone number, and the number on the gift tag you have chosen off the tree.

• 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!
