Summer Reading: Fizz, Boom, READ ends with a BANG!

The library's summer reading program is over but what fun the kids had reading and learning through the summer.  Cindy Foglesong brought a gallon a freshly milked goat milk and proceeded to show the children how to make cheese.   She also talked to children and parents about the different kinds of goats and explained the life cycle of goats.

The program served 40 children this summer meeting on Mondays in June through July 21.  Rink Somersby from the Asombro Institute in Las Cruces brought her trunk of fossils and educated the children on how to recognize fossils and entertained them with hunks of dinosaur poop. Other presenters told stories, sang songs and made sugar candy with the kids.

The final program ended with hot digs, chips, drinks and cookers.  Thanks to  Debbie Myers for coordinating a super program for the summer, and to several dedicated parents.

Top readers from left to right (Zach Rich - 2nd place; Duncan Daugherty & Daniel Daugherty - tied for 1st place; and Alice Allen - 3rd place, all received Walmart gift cards and a gift bag.  All 40 participants received a gift bag.
