Plumb Library Summer Reading Winners

This year, Plumb Library in Rochester tried a new type of summer reading program.  It was formatted to include students, families, and teachers, whereas previous programs focused mainly on students.  They also let the students pick the books they wanted to read, rather than from a required list.  The new program also let students and their families log the number of books and hours they read, which were tallied at the end of the summer.  Participants were even encouraged to write reviews for the books they read. 

On Saturday, September 15, program director Lisa Fuller and the Plumb Library staff held a special party to congratulate all the participants and pass out awards to the most diligent readers and writers.  Don’t forget to check out our photo gallery from the party.

Here is the list of top readers for the summer, courtesy of Lisa Fuller.
