Another year of summer reading is officially over. :( I spent about half the summer volunteering at the Capitol Hill branch of Multnomah County Library handing out prizes as kids and teens filled in their game cards (only about half the summer because my shift was Wednesday afternoons and I got a job in late July). I had a ton of fun as a volunteer (and got a pretty spiffy shirt!) and hopefully I can do it again next year. The little kids were adorable when they brought up their game boards and picked their prizes, many of them seemed more excited about the free stickers than any of the coupons or books, but the parents were pretty into coupons and books for their kids. Thursday we had an end of summer reading party with pizza and root beer floats and a big water balloon fight in the parking lot. I suppose the only downside to summer reading was that I forgot to turn in my adult summer reading game board at MCL and only turned in about half the books I read to Lake Oswego’s Lazinfest summer reading program. Oh well, there’s always next year I guess!
