Simon Brooks hopped his way into our hearts and delighted the audience at the Summer Reading finale this afternoon! A total of 183 children signed up for summer reading, and altogether we read close to 1300 hours (with reading charts still pouring in!).
The summer reading prize cart will linger on through next week, so bring back the rest of your reading charts and keep reading! We are so close to meeting our 1400 goal!
SYNC is a free summer audiobook program for teens 13+ (and adult listeners, too!). From April 27 through August 16, 2017, SYNC will give away two complete audiobook downloads each week, including four outstanding Listening Library titles! Visit www.audiobooksync.com each week for two new audio offerings. Once downloaded, these audios are yours to keep—but hurry, each title is available for one week only!
