Summer Reading Program: The Final Countdown

We're less than a week away from the start of the Summer Reading Program!  May has been crazy busy for us as we make the final preparations for the program.  Cassie and I, along with Janet and Joyce from the Youth Services Department, have been visiting schools all over the county to get kids, teens, and adults pumped up for Summer Reading.  It's always great to see everyone during these visits (yes, we recognize a lot of you because you come to the library so much!).

On top of the visits, we also have to prepare ALL THE THINGS to be sent out to our branches.  From posters to prizes, there are several things each branch needs to be ready for summer.  We also want the branch staff to have all of their materials ahead of time so they can be familiar with what's going on during the summer and can ask any last minute questions.

Then there's the decorating.....

The fun all begins on June 1st!  Be sure to stop by your local branch to find out about all of the great things happening at the library this summer.
