SRP Sign Up and New Programing Begins

 

6-7-2024

The first day of Summer Reading Program families were so excited to sign up and beat next week’s rush, they braved the rain and came pouring in. Actually, we had more adults sign up than children 18 to 14, but that will change. Remember this was only the first week, sign up continues well into the summer.

We have 30 prizes this year thanks to the annual monetary donation from the Friends of the East Troy Lions Public Library and prize donations from three library families. Little Prairie Primary students have had a lot to say about them during their end of the year visits. Walkie Talkies and the kayaking Barbie are definitely favorites. Personally, I’d go for the Twister that attaches to a hose or the wagon that folds up for easy storage in a car.

Thank you to everyone who baked for, set up, ran, or stopped by the Friends’ Books & Bites sale on May 25^th. They nearly doubled last year’s sales and raised just shy of $700. While all was going on outside, I gave the storage room used for book donations a major re-organizing and purging. The room looks positively spacious. While we seek out book donations in the months leading up to the sale, there is now a full shelf dedication to incoming donations. Feel free to drop them off at anytime.

This will be Miss Maria’s first summer with us. Thankfully she has many years of experience through the Alice Baker Memorial Library and is fully prepared to sleep in September. Many of the programs below were added due to her willingness to give her all to summer at the library.
