Successful Summer Reading Program




Library Kids read over 800 hours in the Summer Reading Program for 2008. "Look What's Cookin' At Your Library" was the theme for the 2008 Summer Reading Program which was inspired by Debra Frasier's book "A Birthday Cake is No Ordinary Cake" . The ages of eligible children ranged from age 4 through grade 6. Some highlights of this y ears program were a visit by Mary Ann Anderson who helped celebrate Minnesota's 150th Birthday and presented an informative program of the history of Minnesota; a visit from Magician Chef Roberto and his assistant Lynn who cooked and made rabbits and birds disappear. There were 105 children registered for the program with 31 who completed the program by reading at least 10 hours for the summer. Many prizes were donated by local businesses and the programming. Pictured are some of the top readers. These children read over 20 hours each.
