THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM PICTURES ARE IN THE PAPER!!!

The 2009 Summer Reading Program pictures are in the Friday, August 21, issue of the El Dorado Times.
They look great! Copies of the paper are available for 75 cents each, at the El Dorado Times office, 114 N. Vine, here in El Dorado. I will try to get a few copies at the library as well.
Thank you, Julie, and the El Dorado Times, for making it possible to get the pictures of these fabulous readers in the paper. We appreciate your generous support of our summer reading program.
Thank you, too, to the parents and teachers of these readers. Without your support the reading program would not be possible.
More thanks to come on Monday. I am writing this from home, and don't have the information I need to thank everyone who helped us this year. I mainly wanted to get the word out that the pictures are in the paper!

Successful Summer

The 2009 Summer Reading program is a success! Our readers read a total of 11,192 books. Those keeping track of time spent reading recorded 2,648 hours. Fabulous! Thanks to the readers, and thank you to the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and teachers who helped make the summer a success.

If you earned the prize of your picture in the paper, today and next Monday, Aug 10, are the picture days. Just come to the library and we will take your photograph.

If you earned the prize of the swim party, be sure you have picked up your invitation. It is required for admission. It will get your whole family in to the pool.

You can still glue a lid on the art project and add to the paper chain, if you want to. The chain is up to 826 links! It looks great.
