This Year’s theme for the Summer Reading Program was MAKE A SPLASH - READ. The program ran on Thursdays beginning June 17 and ending July 29. The first week’s program, conducted by Claudette Babyak and Marie Dean included the creation of the “Reading Ocean”. During the program participants put the name of each book they read on a cutout of an ocean fish or mammal. Different volunteers conducted the program each week providing exciting and interesting activities for that session. Thanks to all our volunteer leaders and their coordinator Joan Mosby for a wonderful program. Research shows that students who read four or five books over the summer score better on fall reading tests.
If you visited the Library recently you’ve seen the beautiful patriotic quilts loaned to the library by the Groveland Pine Needlers Quilt Guild prior to sending them to military hospitals. Many thanks to the talented quilters who loaned their works for this exhibit: Judy Basey, Jean Cox, Lonnie Roman, Jan Sloan, Pauline Underwood, Ann Johnson, Lynn Sigafoose, and Lillian Cravens.
