2010 Summer Reading Program:

This year the two libraries again participated in the national TD Bank Summer Reading Club. The theme of this year’s program, “Destination Jungle”, sparked the imagination and interest of children.

Participants received a Reading Kit, which included a Reading Log Book, a poster, stickers and bookmarks. Readers came in weekly and received a sticker for every book read. Stickers were then placed on the giant mural which was located on the stage. Once a week, children also had the opportunity to “Fish for a prize”.

Participation in this program has always been fantastic! In St-Pierre, 97 children read 3,170 books, an average of 33 books per child. In St-Malo, 54 children participated. A wind-up party was held in each library, with everyone receiving a small prize and a treat. 52 children and parents attended in St-Pierre while 60 children and parents participated in St-Malo. Congratulations to all!

Special thanks to Melissa Martel and Mélanie Therrien-Hébert (St-Pierre-Jolys students), Kayla Nelson and Nicole Gauthier (St-Malo students) for their enthusiasm and support with this program.

Every sticker represents 5 books read. 97 children read 3,170 books.
