Summer Reading Winners

For some kids, summer is the best time to dig into reading. There's long lazy days, sipping lemonade while reading a favorite novel. Or sneaking a flashlight under a blanket to finish a story.

During this summer's reading program, participants filled out a ticket for every book they read. Then they dropped their tickets in a can. On August 19, the winners were chosen - not by "who read the most books", but by random drawing. Though if you know anything about probability you know that those who read the most books got the most tickets.

So, the winners - who each get a bookstore gift card:

Owen Huizinga for the Beginning Reader crowd
Kadrianna Foster for the 3rd - 6th grade group
Ethan Howe for the teen reads group

Congratulations to all our summer reading participants. And thank you to all the children and teens who made books happy by reading them.
