READ, White, and Blue
Van Noy Library announces its 2009 Summer Reading Program - READ, White, and Blue. Preschoolers through 12th grade are invited to participate. The program runs from June 18 - September 5. Preschoolers through sixth grade read 15 books (or have books read to them). Students entering 7th - 12th read eight books. Participants can pick up a reading log at the library starting Thursday, June 18th after our regular story hour. Then start reading! Fill in the names of the books on your log and return it to the library no later than September 5. When you turn in your log, you will receive a small prize, be able to post your name on our READ, White and Blue board, and also enter your name for a drawing for more prizes at the end of the summer.
