Taking Books Extravaganza
This summer the library saw 199 participants, who together read a total of 1339 books in 1169 hours.
During our Extravaganza this year's participants went over the 1000 hours reading goal and got to throw water balloons at Lisa. Participants also enjoyed pinatas, the limbo, a dino ring-toss, and the very popular Monster Stomp Foot Race! There were prizes, candy, and good times had by all.
