End of Summer Reading

Hello everyone, apologies for the long absence. We had some major problems with the blog and the qvlyouthservices e-mail account. Perhaps I should admit that I am rather a novice at this, but I think we are all back on track and ready to begin again.

By now, all the winners of the Teen Book Review Contest have been notified but for everyone else's information the last two winning book reviews were for the books "Brown Sunshine" and "Our Only May Amelia." Congratulations to those two reviewers and thanks to everyone who participated in our book reviews!

Coming next Thursday, August 13th is our End Of Summer Reading Ice Cream Party! Come out and enjoy a free dish of ice cream and have some library fun! 5:00pm - 8:00pm Ice cream is provided by Maplehofe!
