Summer reading surges: library reports 808 signups toward 865 goal and large attendance at events
Summary
The library director said summer reading programming drew large crowds (about 120 children at one craft) and reported 808 signups toward a goal of 865 (about 93% of the target) after two weeks of programming.
The library director said summer reading has started and described heavy participation in early programming, including roughly 120 children attending a recent "pet rocks" craft. "Yesterday, we had, like, a 120 kids come and make pet rocks," the director said.
The director told the board the summer reading membership goal is 865 and that the library was at about 808 signed‑up participants — approximately 93% of the target — after two full weeks of programming. She encouraged board members and community partners to promote remaining signups and described plans for fall programming already under discussion.
The director also discussed using Friends' events, such as a back‑to‑school ice cream social (which historically draws about 250 people), as opportunities to extend programming like a 'Touch a Truck' event, and asked the board for early direction so outreach can begin soon.
