Discovering

How Enjoyable

Reading Can Be

    The June Summer Reading Program at the Chilton/Clanton Public Library has come to an end. Librarians report it was a fantastic month, filled with children reading books. “We had a great time with our community and discovered how enjoyable reading can be,” said Jennifer Jones of the Library. “Thank you to everyone who took part in the summer reading program and reading challenge. Every year it’s tough to choose a favorite summer, but this year we had more participants in our programs than in the past few years, which is amazing! As librarians, it fills us with joy to see children excited about reading and learning.”

    Reminiscing about the fun times everyone shared during the program included fun things, from painting to magic shows, comedic puppets, and even cool emergency vehicles. Congratulations to the Summer Reading Challenge winners: Laurel Mims for PreK-K5, Madelyn Pauley for 1st-2nd grade, April Motley for 3rd-4th grade, and Maddison Pairrett for 5th-6th grade. These four young ladies worked hard during June competing for the grand prize - a $50.00 gift card to a local business for all the books they read during the challenge. “We are proud of your accomplishments, and of all the children who participated in the reading challenge, you all worked hard too!” Jones added. “Thank you, Chilton County, for making this Summer Reading one to remember, learning that reading can be fun all year round, not just in the summer.”
