Long Hill Summer Reading Club is a Success!

It’s hard to believe that there are only 2 more weeks left of our 2010 Summer Reading Club at the Long Hill Township Library!

“The 250 kids who have joined have done an incredible amount of reading. In fact, 27 kids have already finished, reaching their goal of 560 minutes. That’s a total of 15,260 minutes read! I have no doubt that over the next two weeks, we will see many kids coming in to log in the last 140 minutes to finish” says Children’s Librarian Meredith McGuire. “Parents and kids should be proud when they see all the participants’ names displayed on the mural in the Children’s Department.”

“This year’s Summer Reading Club has been a fantastic experience,” remarked mom Tracy Koller of Gillette. “My daughter Madeline has been excited about reading all summer, and the programs based on the splash theme have been enriching as well as fun!”

The last day to log in minutes and collect prizes is Saturday, August 14. The library is open from 10 to 5 that day, and if you come between 11 and 12 you can visit the animals in our petting zoo!

  1. I agree! This club brought out my 7-year-old's competitive side - he finished all of his minutes in a matter of 2 weeks! And the love for reading has continued throughout the summer, even without having minutes to keep track of. Thanks for providing the kick start!
