Vacation Reading Program conclusion at Union County Public Library

The Vacation Reading Program at Union County Public Library has been a great success this year. Hundreds of children were enjoying the theme "Reading Takes You Everywhere" as they read thousands of books and visited the library. The library averaged over 100 children a day. Three wonderful storytellers visited the library this summer and we had two Teen Nights were the teens watched movies, ate TONS of pizza and popcorn and had loads of fun. Union County Public Library is very grateful for all the donations this summer. Citizens of Union County donated time, dollars, and prizes to make this year's program such a great success.

Union County Public Library librarian, Susie Brendle, will hand-deliver certificates to the following schools on Thursday, August 23, 2007: Union County Primary School, Union County Elementary School, Union County Academy School and Union County Middle School. If your child does not attend one of these schools or does not receive his/her certificate and was enrolled in the Vacation Reading Program, please stop by Union County Public Library to pick up his/her certificate.

Union County Public Library, a branch of the Mountain Regional Library System, is located at 194 Hospital Street and is open Monday, Wednesday & Friday 9-5, Tuesday & Thursday 9-6 and Saturday 10-2.
