Children's and Teens' Summer Reading Program 2011 Review

Well, Summer Reading has come and gone for another year.  Our themes, "One World, Many Stories" and "You Are Here" took us around the world and back again.  We looked at a variety of countries, cultures past and present, and had a wide variety of programs.  We had 268 participants this year.  Average attendance at our Fantastic Friday programs was 95.  [Not too shabby.]  Hopefully everyone had as much fun as we did!

There are lots of photos on the library's website.  (Scroll down to see the Photo Gallery button.)

For those of you that are interested, we are planning to have the steel drum guys come back and do an outdoor concert for us. 

We did a few things different this year.  Most notably, we did not ask participants to count pages.  We only asked that they read at least one book/comic/magazine/cereal box/etc. per week and write down the title in their reading "passport".  At the end of the program participants were given a special sticker in place of a certificate.   Feedback so far has been pretty positive.  If you have feedback about SRP, or anything else at the library, we hope you'll share with us. 

This is YOUR Owen County Public Library, and letting us know things like requests for materials, feedback on programs, etc. that we already offer, or suggestions and ideas for any aspect of the library is always helpful.
