Kids' Summer Reading Wrap-Up

We had a great time at our Summer Reading Ice Cream Party! Over 100 young readers and family members attended the party down by the Artesian Well.

Attendees had fun bowling and playing Frisbee, Jolie asked Summer Reading trivia questions, and everyone enjoyed ice cream from Sallie’s!

Top prizes were given out for each of our program's age brackets along with an overall grand prize.

Maverick Bowman won in the 3-6 age group, Arabella Bowman was the winner for ages 7-12, and Ryder Reames came away with the teen prize.

Pulaski County Commissioner Jenny Knebel drew the name of the grand prize winner. Scott Dywan won this year’s grand prize!

Congratulations to all our participants!

Thank you to Dairy Queen, McDonald's, Country Lanes, Mina's Market, Casey's, Pizza Hut, and One Eyed Jacks for donating prizes that were awarded to children as they progressed through their reading levels throughout the summer.

Even though the reading phase of Summer Reading has wrapped up, weekly activities continue in our children's area! See our events calendar for details.

Thank you to all the families who participated in Summer Reading and made it an extra-colorful summer at the library!
