April 09/Readathon
There are 2 things we love at the library.. The first is reading (but I bet you could have guessed that) and the second is the County Youth Park!
We’re big believers that teens need safe and more importantly FUN places to hang out! The library is one of those places.. but we don’t exactly have enough room for you to skateboard or run around!
So that’s where the Youth Park comes in!
To support the Youth Park we’re hosting a Readathon ! For the month of April everyone can come in, and get a pledge form – set a goal for the number of books you want to read in April – and then get people that you know & love to sponsor you. Read as much as you can through the month of April.
For midmonth encouragement, come to the READING FEAST April 14 at 6:00 p.m. We’ll have food and lots of suggestions of books to read.
Then, May 2nd we’ll have a party to celebrate and relax after a month of lots of reading!
