Thanks for a Great Summer!

Today marks the official end to summer vacation. With school starting today, I wanted to take a moment and thank all of you for helping make this such a great summer. Over 1,000 kids played on our Ghoulish Game Board, and over 250 Wallingford families participated in our Ice Cream for Books program. That's a lot of reading! Beyond that, we had amazing turn outs at all of our other programs. We hope that that means you had just as much fun here at the library as we did!

I know that many of you will soon be swamped with schoolwork and after school activities, but before that happens, I just have to ask: Of all the books you read this summer, which one was your favorite? Or, if you're like me and just can't choose, what were a few favorites? Personally, I was thrilled to (finally) get through the end of the Percy Jackson series - talk about heart-pounding, nail-biting adventure! I just couldn't put "The Last Olympian" down. I also discovered the very funny "Magic Pickle" books, and had a chance to read the latest in the Clementine series, "Clementine, the Friend of the Week." The Clementine books are one of my favorite series, and are always good for a chuckle.

We would love to hear your thoughts on what you read this summer - please let us know in the comments!
