Almost 1,000 children in reading club

Dear editor, The staff at Halton Hills Public Library would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who helped make our summer reading programs such a huge success! With the enthusiastic assistance of our summer students Christine Elliott and Katherine Vandermey we kept almost 1,000 children reading over the summer in our Quest for Heroes Summer Reading Club! We acknowledge those parents who encouraged their children to participate, thereby fostering a love of literacy. Thank you also to our student volunteers who played games and made crafts with our kids! We would also like to recognize the efforts of The Independent and Free Press, the Acton Tanner, and CooperStandard Automotive for promoting our programs. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the generosity of the three bank branches of TD Canada Trust in both Georgetown and Acton for providing prizes. We look forward to next summer!
