SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Every summer, the Orange County Library system offers a program to encourage readers--both young and old--to continue to read during the summer. Each year brings a new theme and the Friends has a wonderful volunteer who designs and builds a booth to fit each year's theme.

Middle- and High-school students volunteer (and earn service hours toward graduation) to staff the booth to sign up new readers and check off program milestones. They also hand out prizes, provided by the Friends, to recognize every milestone goal achieved.
