Summer Reading Program
August 16, 2006What a wonderful
summer we have had this year with “Paws, Claws, Scales, and Tales”.
We had some wonderful visitors come and talk to us at the library. We had the
Bella Vista Shelter come and explain to us how to adopt a pet. We had Dr Harris
from the Country View Animal Clinic come and talk to us on how to take care of
our pets. We have also had “Tangles the Magician” to entertain us. We
had the Benton County Sheriff’s Department bring one of their drug dogs to
visit. The local 4-H Clubs provided a petting zoo for the children. We had Lynn
Scrumbato bring her wild birds to visit. We have had Jose Aviles from Fayetteville
bring his zebra and his friend Rebecca bring her dancing Spanish Mustang. On the
final week we had Steve Dunlap bring a collection of snakes.
During the Summer
Reading Program, the children were able to earn tickets for attendance and also
for books that they read. We kept those tickets in a fish tank and we drew names
at the end of the summer party for lots of different prizes. Each child who attended
the Summer Reading Program received a goody bag. We also had hot dogs, chips,
and drinks to celebrate the end of the summer.
We would like to give a heartfelt
thank you to all of our sponsors for the Summer Reading Program. We would like
to thank the Bank of Gravett, Arvest Bank, and also the Kiwanis’s. If your
business would like to be a sponsor, please contact the Gravette Public Library
at 479-787-6955 or stop by and visit at 407 Charlotte Street, SE, Gravette, Arkansas.
Thanks again to everyone for a wonderful summer!
