Summer
Reading Program
-
The summer of 2002 was
the first year in recent memory that the Johnsonburg Public Library had a summer
reading program. And boy was it a success! 143 kids signed up for the program
with a large majority of them participating in the weekly events and activities.
There were lots of games,
prizes, and entertainment! Everyone had a fantastic time.
-
This year's program is
off to a great start. The kids are busy reading, reading, reading! There are so
many great prizes to win- how do they choose what to try for?!
