Clovis Carver Library reports strong turnout for 'Unearth a Story' summer reading program
Summary
Library staff described the 'Unearth a Story' summer reading program as the strongest in recent years, reporting roughly 1,700 child participants through June, nearly 400 adult attendees, themed events including a T‑Rex visit and archaeology programming, and plans to send participant surveys to the state library.
Library staff told the Clovis Carver Library Board that this summer's "Unearth a Story" program drew strong participation across child and adult programs.
"In my 16 years of being here, this is probably the best summer reading program we've ever had," the staff presenter said, noting archaeology‑themed activities, a T‑Rex visit, a T‑Rex tea party and hands‑on crafts. Staff reported about 1,700 children participated through June, an adult attendance nearing 400 over the same period, and a zoo visit that drew roughly 115 children in the last week of June. The presenter said staff will send a survey to parents and participants and forward results to the New Mexico State Library.
Board members praised the children's librarian and discussed upcoming fall offerings, including STEM clubs, anime/manga groups, an afternoon story time and additional evening events to accommodate families. The board encouraged continued outreach to young people and agreed to consider volunteers from local student organizations.
