The Petersburgh Public Library celebrated the completion of the summer reading program with an ice cream sundae party for all the readers. For the first time readers could log in the books they read on the library website. This was a feature enjoyed by many readers. A total of 47 children completed the reading requirements with 25 younger children reading or being read to a total of 536 books and 22 independent readers having read a total of 15,247 pages. All the readers received a certificate, a T-shirt featuring the theme “Catch the Reading Bug,” and books to take home. Those readers who were unable to attend the party are invited to stop in at the library to pick up their certificates, T-shirts, and books.
