Summer Reading Program Comes To A Close

The 2022 Summer Reading Program “Oceans of Possibilities” at the Ainsworth Public Library
concluded June 30th with the final fun hours. This was also the last day for participants
registered on ReaderZone to log their minutes of reading. This summer there were 43 children
in grades kindergarten through fourth and 23 preschool and toddler age enrolled for a total of
65. Of the 43 school age kids registered, 16 used the ReaderZone app to log their minutes
read. A goal of 500 minutes reading time for the month of June was set for them to try to reach.
Those sixteen readers logged a grand total of 12,149 minutes read! The top readers were Eli
Beel, Kimberlyn Doke, and Ariyah Voss each with over 1,000 minutes logged and Mason
Winters with a whopping 1,500 minutes. The turnout was great for each day of the fun hours
and we hope everyone enjoyed taking part reading and learning together. The librarians are
looking forward to seeing all our readers checking out lots of books until next summer’s program.
