We’ve had a great summer with 337 participants in this year’s edition of the library’s Summer Reading Club. And drum roll . . . They signed out a whopping 10,751 books and collected nearly 1,800 tokens to redeem for ice cream coupons at Dairy Queen, Flavour Container & Mallards and vouchers to the Super Lucky Dollar Store. We celebrated in style with John Pert’s magic show and a full slate of Super Reader games afterwards.
