There was a record amount of books absorbed by Bruce County Public Library’s TD Summer Reading Club.
According to the library, this was their most successful year yet, with a combined total of 217,570 (two hundred 17 thousand 570) minutes read by 459 participants, a significant increase over previous years.
Chesley Library led the way with 34,545 (thirty four thousand five hundred 45) minutes logged, but all county libraries reported an increase in registration and reading hours.
Library Director Brooke McLean says the success of the club means more children will return to school prepared for a great year having maintained or improved their reading skills.
This year, the library introduced new window clings awarded to 235 children that met the goal of logging two hours of reading. A ribbon-based reward system was also in place for readers who reached specific milestones through reading and completing tasks earning different tiers.
You can participate in reading challenges all year long online through Beanstack. Beanstack is a free service provided by the Bruce County Public Library.
