Summer Reading Begins
Welcome summer, and boy, has it been busy at the library! We are so happy to see people returning and have planned dozens of events for all ages. You may have noticed we've moved to a quarterly newsletter in print. We will continue to update you monthly online of our upcoming events and have a monthly calendar with events on one side and new items on the other available at the desk.
Summer Reading sign up began on June 29 for all ages. When children under age 10 register they will receive a reading log and will be reading to earn bottle caps to spend in the Friendship Hut. Choose from many exciting prizes! Young Adults ages 10-18 can pick up a Bingo card and a goodie bag when they register. Fill in a Bingo for a prize and for a chance to win the weekly raffle. Do the Bingo Bonus and double your chances of winning! Adults earn raffle tickets each time they check something out from the library or attend a library program. Enter your raffle tickets for a weekly themed basket.
Thank you to our Gold Sponsors Heart and Hands Thrift Shop, Giuseppe’s Pizzeria and Ristorante, The Fitness Edge and Overhead Door Options, to our Silver Sponsors Meredith Village Savings Bank and Ippolito’s Furniture, and to our Bronze Sponsors Interlakes Animal Hospital, Moulton Farms, Bootleggers and Meredith Station for making our Summer Reading possible! As always, thank you to the Friends of the Meredith Library for their continuing support.
