Congratulations to Kylie Davis, Karly Park, Nick Park, Jay Steinhauer, and Marlee Cheng!
The library's November Read-A-Thon was a great success, thanks to these stellar readers. With the modest participation of only five kids, the reading results were anything but modest!
This group collectively read over 3,200 pages and raised $560 for Ride2Surive! The library and Ride2Survive would like to express their sincere gratitude to these exceptional readers and their supportive sponsors.
