76 area children enrolled in Circus fun reading club
Seventy-six children were enrolled in the summer reading club program at the public library this year according to Harlett Kerl, librarian.
Of those 76, 48 completed at least 12 books, qualifying them each for a paperback book.
At the club party Wednesday afternoon, Kerl distributed certificates and student helpers Joyce Haun, Theresa Heithold and Nancy Stanley, who had worked with the children, passed out treats.
Many readers completed and reported on more than 12 books, receiving a new paper back to keep for each dozen they check out and read.
The top nine readers were Calista Coffman, 53 books; Ravi Johar and Brad McLaws, 48; Lisa Peters, 41; Mike Mendyk, 40; Bryan Schmoldt and Julie Otte, 36; Marcia Rethwisch, 32 and Jennifer Breitkreutz, 30.
