We Want to See Your School Photos
For our September art exhibit, we’re going to display a variety of school pictures from community members.
Look through your school portraits and pick out one of your best – it can be awkward or adorable!
You can either snap a photo of it with your phone and email it to clinton@midyork.org or stop in with the hard copy, and we’ll make a quick scan of it. We’ll only identify you by your first name and grade level.
More details on the show are coming soon!
Clinton Challenge
Do you like to read? Are you over 18? If you answered yes to both of those questions, we need you for the Clinton Challenge!
The Kirkland Town Library was the winner of the first Clinton Challenge in summer 2021! We won again in 2023, but we are lagging behind this year. We need to bring the trophy home! All you have to do is keep track of how much time you spend reading.
If it seems intimidating, here’s a helpful tip. This year, all six libraries have agreed that one page is equal to one minute of reading. Once you finish a book, make a note of how many pages it is (or Google it!). Divide the number of pages by 60, and you have your reading time.
Every Friday, let us know how long you’ve read during the week. Snip this week from your reading log and drop it off, email your time to clinton@midyork.org, or fill out the online form.
For every instance that you submit your time, you’ll be entered in a raffle to win a fun prize at the end of the summer.
pep rally to-go bags
Team members are invited to stop by to pick up a special Pep Rally in a Bag filled with supplies to help you maximize your reading before the end of the summer. There are only 25 available! Bags will be available starting at Noon on Friday, August 22. One per household; available to readers who have submitted their reading time this summer.
Week Twelve Results
Pennsylvania continues to hold onto first place with 19,379 hours, followed by New York with 19,027. Iowa remains in third place with 17,786 hours, Indiana is in fourth with 15,964, Massachusetts is in fifth with 13,522, and New Jersey remains in sixth place with 11,758. This week’s special award goes to the North County Branch Library in Clinton, New Jersey, for reading the most hours during the previous week. Even though they are in last place, they read for 2,507 hours in week 12, far more than their five competitors. With less than two weeks to read in the competition, which Clinton is going to get the trophy?
Teen Lit Bags Now Available
Teens aged 13-18 can sign up to receive a bag full of goodies from the library! You’ll receive two library books selected just for you, a craft, snacks, and more! Click here to request one:
