CCPL celebrates summer reading
Sep. 6—LENOIR — Summer reading for kids and babies ran from Tuesday, May 31 to Saturday, Aug. 13 at several branches of the Caldwell County Public Library (CCPL).
Nine hundred and two kids registered with 550 returning to the library to turn in minutes, pick out free books and prizes, and purchase prizes with book bucks.
Thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Library, 1,568 books and over 1,500 prizes were given out to kids in Caldwell County this year. Kids who finished summer reading were eligible for the end-of-summer prize drawing which included prizes from community sponsors at Arby's, Blue Moose Coffee Lodge, Chick-fil-A of Lenoir, Doc's Gem Mine, Domino's of Lenoir, Golden Ticket Cinemas, Grandfather Mountain, Hickory Crawdads, Krispy Kreme, McDonald's, Mystery Hill, Pelican's Snoballs of Lenoir, Shake-N-Dog, Sonic, TCBY of Lenoir, Tweetsie Railroad, and Wendy's.
Over the summer, CCPL had 3,554 people attend 124 events held for children and their families at the Lenoir, Hudson, and Southern branches of the library. Due to the success of the programs over the summer, the library will continue to offer Crafternoon every two weeks and All Things STEAM once a month this fall. Library staff look forward to seeing familiar and new faces at the library during these events and many other activities at the libraries this fall.
The following kids finished their summer reading by reading for either 1,200 minutes (for kids ages 3-12) or 60 days (for kids age 2 and under). Library staff are incredibly proud of each and every one of them.
