We have had another great summer of reading fun. Our 3 kids book clubs: Read-to-Me, Summer Reading Club and Cool Breezes Teen Book Club were again well attended programs that encourage both literacy and light-hearted fun. Each child in the Summer Reading Club and Read-to-Program, who read 10 books, received not only great prizes, but a book of their own choosing. What a treat to take home a book from the Library and NOT have to return it. We thank the fund raising efforts of Alex Herlovitch and our friends at Scholastic Canada. All finishers also has the opportunity to enjoy pizza, popcorn and a great movie day, thanks in part to our generous sponsor for Pizzareadia, Zappi’s Pizza and Subs. Ripley’s Believe it or Not, provided free passes to all finishers as well. McDonald’s, a faithful literacy supporter for many years, again delighted our kids with ice cream coupons this year. Our thanks to Roman Cheese for all the great pizza display items. Our very lucky Teens in the Summer Breezes program were the recipients of amazing prizes this summer thanks our generous local merchants. Big round of applause goes to: Niagara Square, Canada One Factory Outlet, Cineplex, Ripley’s, Cataract Bowl, Guinness World Records, Marineland, Wendy’s, Bird Kingdom, Super Putt, YMCA and Niagara Parks. We so appreciate your support of reading excellence in this community. Now available on all our desks at our 4 Library locations, is the new annual Children's brochure "Just For Kids" which lists our recurring programs for the next year. You will also find a colourful insert that highlights special programs and crafts for the Fall Season at all of our Libraries. The new annual brochure allows you to see and register for all programs for the upcoming year. Our Holiday insert will also be on the desks shortly, but we will let you enjoy our wonderful fall days in Niagara before the reindeer take over! As always, registration is in person, on the phone or on our website www.nflibrary.ca, where you can also see a copy of our brochure. There is still time to sign up for the Online Book Club, before September 1. Register on our website, or call the library. The title for the month is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society.
