Summer reading
wrap-up!!!
The summer reading program has come to
an end! We had 132 children signed up for the program this year and
together they read almost 500,000 minutes!! Awesome job! The child
that read the most read over 5,000 minutes. SRP parties were held on
August 8th, 9th, and 10th. Those who completed the program and turned
in their minutes received lots of fun prizes like whiffle ball bats,
jump ropes, sports rockets and coupons for free food. Our sponsors
this year are Dick’s Sporting Goods, Wal-Mart, Taco Bell, Subway,
Buffalo Wild Wings and the Friends of the Newport Library and we
greatly appreciate them all for helping us have a great reading
summer! |
| The first
day of school is August 29th. For the remainder of August, we will
read and talk about going back to school. Crafts will include making a
school bus, paper plate apples and writing our names with glitter and
glue. We will also begin learning the sign language alphabet. |

| Want to help your library? |
|
| Newport Library offers several
opportunities to do just that with the following programs:
Adopt-A-Book is a wonderful way to honor or memorialize an individual or
group while supporting your local library. A bookplate will be placed in the
front of all adopted books in acknowledgement of the gift.
Adopt-A-Shelf is a perfect way for youth to help
the library and earn community service hours. The sign-up sheet is at the
front desk and you will need written permission from a parent or guardian.
This program is for both middle school and high school students.
Adult volunteers are also welcome to come and
straighten shelves. Applications are available at the front desk. |
