EXTRA! EXTRA!
Read all about it!
Summer Reading Program participants read their way to success at MPL!

Children who joined our Summer Reading Program could log either the number of books they read or the hours they spent reading ... and their numbers were phenomenal!

Participants read nearly 1000 books and read for an amazing 520 hours!
We're so proud of you for this extraordinary accomplishment!

Congratulations to the grand prize winners in our Summer Reading Program and to all the weekly raffle winners of books, toys and treasures!

Keep enjoying the magic of reading!
