2023 Summer Reading Program Statistics

Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2023 Novel Destinations Summer Reading Program a huge success.
We thought we would share some stats with you:
* 123 children registered claiming 202 free books & 120 prize packs as incentives throughout the six-week program.
* 87 adults participated reading a total of 357 books.
* 10 teens participated reading a total of 107 books.
* 490 children & 399 adults attended our 19 events. You really blew our minds at the Kick-off Party and the Bubble Party. Wow! We're already planning next year's Bubble Party.
We wanted to go big for our 50th year, and we did.
Thank you once again to the Community Foundation of Marquette County & Gwinn Area Community Fund for the $1,500.00 grant that covered the majority of our summer expenses.
Thank you to the many donors who provided prizes & supplies.
Adventure Begins at Your Library in summer 2024.
