The first Dartmouth summer reading program to include adult and young adult readers instead of only children was a great success. 155 adult readers signed up and turned in 500 punch cards representing 3,000 hours of reading. These punch cards were used as raffle tickets to award prizes at our annual summer reading party on Saturday, August 16th. Over $700.00 worth of certificates and coupons were donated by the local restaurants and businesses. The libraries want to recognize and thank all the sponsors who supported this program: Applebee’s, Buttonwood Park Zoological Society, Fay’s Too, Friendly Pizza, Howland Place Fitness Center, IHOP, Ixtapa Mexican Restaurant, Metro Pizza (State Rd.), New York Bagel, Ninety-Nine, Not Your Average Joe’s, Old Country Buffet, Papa Ginos (State Rd.), Peking Garden, Ruby Tuesday, Village Café, and Ying Dynasty. Pub Ninety-Nine also provided catering for the annual summer reading party on Saturday, August 16th.
The Summer Reading Party will be held on Saturday August 16th at 12:00 p.m. Ninety Nine will provide a cookout for all members who have completed the Summer Reading Program.
A special performance by family entertainer Les Julian will start at 1:00 p.m. T-shirts, reading certificates and a free book for all children who completed the Reading Club and a Read-to-Me Program. Sponsored by Ninety Nine, the Southeastern Regional Library System and the Friends of the Dartmouth Libraries.
