Goodbye For Now!
The 2025 LOPL Summer Library Challenge (and this newsletter) has come to a close.
 
Congratulations to the 2012 kids and 633 adults who participated in this year's challenge. Together, they read for a total of 45,535 hours (also known as 1,897 days... or FIVE YEARS).
 
We believe, and hope you do too, that spending time reading during the summer is a prize in and of itself. So, give yourselves a pat on the back and come visit us soon!
