Yesterday, June 30, was the first day to sign-up for the library's two summer reading programs (for children and teens). 51 young adults registered for "Game On @ Your Library" and 171 kids ages 5-12 signed on for "Get a Clue @ Your Library". The checkout lines were long all day long and by day's end we had circulated 2,032 items (950 in the adult area and 1,082 in the Children's Room).
Our staff was simultaneously exhausted and totally energized! It's so rewarding to see Dover's youth (and their parents) choosing to put reading on their list of summer activities. Let's keep it going throughout the school vacation months!
Remember, we have lauded children's entertainer Judy Pancoast in a performance on our lawn next Wednesday, July 9 at 10:30am and free family-friendly movies every Monday afternoon at 3pm. (Please call for a list of films. Due to the terms of our movie licensing agreement, we can't publish the actual titles on the web.)
Enjoy the summer @ your library!
