Summer Reading Program Award Winners Named

A new high mark of 12,264 toddlers, children and teens registered for the 2011 Summer Reading Program. They turned in 13,957 slips recording a total of 69,785 reading hours. That’s a lot of summer reading!

Locations with the most participants (from highest through fourth highest) were:
    Baby/toddler program: St. Cloud, Delano, Elk River and St. Michael
    Children’s program: St. Cloud, Delano, Elk River, and St. Michael
    Teen program: Cold Spring, St. Michael, St. Cloud and Elk River

After a successful Summer Reading Program, the cherry on the cake is giving some lucky kids cool awards. Four children’s grand prize winners were drawn. Each received a Sportcraft Titan 10 in 1 Multi Game Table including games of basketball, billiard, baseball toss, football toss, bean bag toss, flipper soccer, hover hockey, chess, checkers and backgammon. Little Jadeyn Stover could not stop grinning when she came to the St. Cloud Public Library with her mother and brother to receive her prize.
“The kids have never won anything before so they can’t believe it,” said Jadeyn’s mom.
Other children’s winners were Brooke Hoffarth from Albany, Colton Shay from Albany, and Marcy Wolbeck from Little Falls.

    Noah Spadgenske, grade 10, Cold Spring
