The Summer Reading program at Mendon Public Library was a big success.
Children participated in early literacy events that tied together storytelling and building/creativity; learned about our environment, our history, and our world; and sang and danced, a lot! Teens read, volunteered, and spent time learning about a wide variety of topics from photonics to yoga! Adults learned about selecting wine & beer for picnics, discovered famous Rochesterians, got tips on nutrition, and did a lot of reading, too!
All children under 11-years-old that completed their summer reading logs selected a paperback book of their choosing to take home along with an assortment of coupons and gift cards from local businesses. Teen and adult prizewinners were Benjamin Gray (teen) and Gary Albright (adults). Additional prizes were awarded to Joanna Cohen, Taylor Blythe, Cayla Lawrence, Oksana Vysochanska, Abigail Falta, and Kathy Dombrowski. The Mendon Public Library offers the Summer Reading Program to the community thanks to a generous grant from M&T Bank and support from the Friends of the Mendon Public Library. In addition, the library is incredibly thankful to all the great presenters, volunteers, and support that it was lucky enough to receive.
Regularly scheduled story times, one-on-one technology help sessions, and other special events offered this fall are all highlighted at www.mendonlibrary.org. It delivers friendly library service to the Town of Mendon and Village of Honeoye Falls and is a proud member of the Monroe County Library System.
