THERE WAS A LOT OF READING GOING ON IN SCARBOROUGH, MAINE THIS SUMMER!

Today is the first day since June 17, when our Summer Reading Program began, that the children's room has been quiet. It was a wild and busy summer. We had a total of 712 children sign up (including those in middle school). 300 turn in their Reading Logs. Twenty teens attended their finale held on Wednesday, August 7, and over 500 came to the End of Summer Reading Ice Cream Party on August 14. The Friends of the Scarborough Library generously funded our summer program and events, plus they also scooped ice cream.  The Youth Services staff thanks everyone who made our summer crazy busy. It sure was fun, but it is nice to have some quiet time to put the summer things away and ready the room for the school year.
