Blue Ridge Regional Library reports strong summer‑reading participation in Patrick County
Summary
Library staff told supervisors that the Patrick branch ran 34 programs with 320 attendees and the bookmobile hosted nine programs with 172 participants; registration for the statewide summer reading challenge opens June 1.
Blue Ridge Regional Library staff updated the Board of Supervisors on programming and summer‑reading plans, reporting robust local participation at branch events and on the bookmobile. The library encouraged residents to register for the statewide summer reading challenge beginning June 1.
"They had their programs based on preschool, school age, and teenage. They had a good attendance for preschool, 97, and school age was a whopping 208," the library presenter said, summarizing local branch participation. The presenter noted a grand total of 34 programs with 320 total attendance at the Patrick branch and that the bookmobile ran nine programs with 172 participants (52 adults), and thanked the board and volunteers for continued support.
The library said summer reading helps combat the "summer slide" and promotes literacy and employability skills; staff distributed an annual report and encouraged supervisors to promote the program in their districts.
