Build A Better World Summer Reading 2017 Wrap Up

admin_kristie's picture

Greetings from Helen Plum Library!
We are sad to say goodbye to summer, but we had a wonderful 2017 summer reading program, Build A Better World.
Over 2,200 Lombardians participated in the Build A Better World Summer Reading Program at Helen Plum Library. Children collectively recorded 22,961 hours this summer—this represents over 957 days, 137 weeks, 34 months, or over 2 and a half years of continuous early literacy and reading activity by Lombard area kids and families! Nearly 150 teens ages 13-19 read a total of 165,600 pages, and a total of 325 adults signed up for the Summer Reading Program and 38 patrons read at least 25 books during the program. That's a lot of reading, Lombard!

Next week, we'll have book reviews compiled from some of the many Summer Reading participants in the Adult Services department.

Finally, we have a great deal of support from local and regional businesses, and are so appreciative of the charitable contributions they make that help to encourage literacy in the community.

Thank you to everyone who participated, and a big thank you to our sponsors!
