The Summer Reading Challenge at Woodbridge Library attracted a record number of young participants

A record number of young readers signed up for the Summer Reading Game in Woodbridge Library this year – and a record 176 finished the challenge. So much for the theory that children no longer read books.

This afternoon, a horde of children  of every age from 3 to early teens, their parents – and most importantly, the volunteers who spend so much time every summer, hearing the children read as they progress through the game –  took over the Woodbridge Library  as they came to receive their certificates and medals –  and watch Dan the Balloon Man as he twisted ever more  interesting balloon creations for them to take away

It’s true you know.  Children LIKE libraries. Let’s make sure that we never lose ours
