SRC Final Party for Teens: The Unveiling

Miss Alicia sported her new hairdo at the Summer Reading Club Final Party and Lock-In for teens on Friday night.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so, need we say more?

Zach at WWE SummerSlam in LA!

Hey, we know that kid! There's Zach and his Mom enjoying the show at WWE SummerSlam.

Zach was a Grand Prize winner and won airfare to Los Angeles for two, two nights’ hotel, two tickets and $200 spending money for WWE’s SummerSlam pay-per-view event on Sunday, August 23, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. All this for just checking out books!

To check out more cool pics of Zach, go to WWE.kids.com.

Congrats again Zach!

Congratulations to all our Star Readers!

Congratulations to all our young STAR READERS who completed their reading

commitments and attended our Summer Reading Club Final Parties!

Our toddlers and preschool readers enjoyed the music, stories and fun of Dave Moran.

Our elementary readers enjoyed the balloons, balls and fun of "The Jiggle Man"
aka Banks Helfrich.

In addition to the final parties, each reader was presented with a Certificate of Completion and fantastic prizes. Our staff had a great time, too!

The Library is grateful to all of the sponsors of the Summer Reading Program, including the St. Petersburg Times, Connerton Foundation, and the Friends of the Land O' Lakes Library.
