This year, the Cary Library children’s summer reading program was “Fizz, Boom, Read.” The teen summer reading program was “Spark a Reaction.” Both were very popular programs, with 142 children and 23 teens signing up.
For the 2014 summer reading program, the library continued the practice of providing a nutritional snack to each child for reading a book. As each child reached their halfway goal they received a Pizza Hut certificate. Everyone reaching their goal received a certificate of completion, another Pizza Hut certificate, a McDonald’s coupon for a fry and each participant chose a book for their personal collection at the final party.
All of the participants did an outstanding job reading, as 3,228 books were read during the five-week summer program.
“The commitment by these readers and the support of their families is to be commended and the Cary Library staff applauds them,” said Linda Faucher, librarian.
Cary Library staff would like to extend their thanks to their many sponsors who helped make this program successful. The library would also like to recognize and thank all the staff, and the many volunteers that helped make this summer’s reading program a huge success.
