Our summer reading program has already gotten off to a scorching start. Not due to the weather but to the over 40 students we've had attend so far! This, coupled with the nearly 200 books those students checked out, has positively smashed our expectations for summer reading! Our students started the fun by being sorted into two teams, the Spelunkers and the Scuba Divers, who together took part in a number of riddles, games, and challenges to earn points for their respective teams. Both teams have solved and played incredibly hard the last two weeks and we love the positivity that they've brought to our library!
Congratulations to our Guess the Jelly Beans Winner, Gracelin Weishaar! Gracelin won with a guess of 298 when there were 318 in the jar. She won the entire jar of jelly beans, and a box of Martinson's peanut brittle. Thanks to everyone who participated! We'll have more fun challenges at the library soon!
