“Libraries are innately subversive institutions, born of the radical notion that every member of society deserves free, high-quality access to knowledge and culture.”

“Every reader exists to ensure for a certain book a modest immortality. Reading is, in this sense, a ritual of rebirth.”

Mysterious books have started appearing at Loup City Public Library. They are covert…They are sneaky…They are waiting for you to pick them up and participate in the “Don’t judge a book by its cover” campaign.

We had a great Summer Reading Program this year. Jennifer Fowler did all of the hard work so all I have to do is send out the stats!
77 kids participated in the Summer Reading Program
377 books were read
$109 chamber bucks were given out in addition to other small incentives
These kids worked hard and challenged themselves and in a lot of cases needed the support of their parents for assistance and transportation. Great job everyone on making this a successful reading program

Adults: Stay tuned in the weeks to come for a “Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover” program. A rough sketch of the program: Select books will be wrapped. If you select one of these books, there will be a very small survey to fill out regarding your reading experience, and there will be a small drawing at the end of the program.
