We’re Reading Tons!

Monday, November 10th, 2008

It’s time! Let the weighing begin! Remember our goal is 2,000 lbs. Look for the sign to remind you to bring your books to the Youth Services Desk BEFORE you return them in the bookdrop. Each night we will tally the lbs. and they will be recorded on the scale on the wall the next morning.

Our special event to announce the results will be held on Saturday, December 6, 10-11 a.m. Local children’s entertainer, Steve Couch will bring his I Love to Read Show to the library. No registration is required. And, anyone can come – you don’t have to have had books weighed to participate.

Special thanks to Hy-Vee in Bettendorf for loaning us their scale!
