Summer Reading: One World Many Stories
This summer, like the previous ones, we had a summer reading program here at the Inman Public Library. Throughout the past 6 six weeks Dawn Froese, Cecelia Wheeler, and Donna Sallee hosted this fun exciting weekly activity where the kids could visit the library, listen to a story, have a snack, and learn about other countries (hence the name, “One World, Many Stories“). They also had tickets; which you could earn by coming every Thursday to the class, reading a hundred pages (or an hour), sharing a book report, or telling an original story! On August 1st there will be a drawing and the children who’s names are pulled will receive a gift card to Hastings. Read on! ~Kirstan DeVore
