Summer Reading Program Extended

Summer Reading Program Extended!

As most of your regrettably found out last week, our building renovations went a little over. We were closed for three days, and that just happened to coincide with the end of the Summer Reading Program. First and foremost, we'd like to thank everyone who came out and joined us Friday for the finale show, Amazing Al! We had a fantastic time, and we're definitely sad to see all the fun events end.

However, since Friday was supposed to be the end of the program, and we were closed, we have decided to extend the Summer Reading Program until Wednesday, August 11th, 2010. Make sure to have all your reading logs turned in by this date, as it's the last day to receive prizes!

We will also be announcing the top readers as soon as the Summer Reading Program is officially over. Also, make sure you come by and sign up for the Water Wonders program we're hosting on August 20th, sponsored by Cornerstones of Science!

Thank you for all your patience while the renovations are going on.

Come and join us for the grand finale of the Summer Reading Program on Friday, August 6th, at 11 a.m., at the Washington Civic Center with Amazing Al! It's been a wonderful season, and we can't wait until next year to do it all over again!

""Amazing Al" combines humor, education, interaction, positive messages and a few surprises for everyone in his one-man performance. Al Yountz's Motivational Magic Show leaves the students motivated and feeling better about themselves. A variety of themes are available to coincide with lesson planning.

Repetition and participation leave the children with a strong impression that will last forever."
