County library reports record summer-reading minutes: 327,746 logged

Scurry County Commissioners Court · August 18, 2026

Summary

A county department reported that participants logged 327,746 minutes in the summer reading program—about 85,000 more than the previous year. Organizers said prizes and incentives were funded by donations, not county funds.

A county department head reported that Scurry County kids logged 327,746 minutes in the summer reading program this summer—about 85,000 minutes more than the same period last year.

The presenter said the increase was driven by strong participation and friendly competition among teens, noting some entries arrived late at night. She emphasized that all prizes were funded by sponsors and donations rather than county funds. "None of the summer reading comes from county funds. All of it is donations," the presenter said.

Commissioners congratulated library staff and volunteers; the court received the report as part of routine department updates.
