Let the Reading Begin!

Wow, it's been out of control here at the Amherst Public Library.  It's four o'clock on Friday afternoon and I've just taken a moment to sit down.  We've registered over 400 kids and teens for our summer reading program and some kids have already earned some prizes.

Thanks to everyone who waited patiently if there was a line. 

We had a great time at craft day Wednesday when we had hundreds of people come in for our Founders Day Puppet craft.  We soon "bagged" the whole idea of pioneer puppets as kids let there imaginations go wild producing alien puppets, Star War creatures, princess puppets and even an Abraham Lincoln puppet complete with money under his hat.

The best part of craft day is our "no rules" rule of anything goes as far as creativity. 

With five days of summer reading complete we're off to a good start.  Keep reading!
