Summer Reading was a Big Hit! Last summer 1127 kids and teens participated in the summer reading program. They read or listened to a record breaking 27,514 books. We want to congratulate all the children and their parents who participated in the reading program. The following are our top readers from the summer of 2001. They did a great job and they’re well on their way to becoming lifetime readers. ■
