Salina Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program is rocketing toward the finish line. Adults are reading more than ever and getting raffle tickets for every book read. Friday raffles have been a big success with 70 winners so far. The program wraps up with an Ice Cream Social for participants at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6. We’ll be raffling off even more prizes including the grand prize of a Kindle Fire!
Our special needs adult patrons have been getting in on the action, too, reading or being read to, getting raffle tickets and winning prizes. This group will have an Ice Cream Social at 11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 2. There will be more raffle fun and we’ll give away two tickets to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo!
We’d like to thank the businesses in Mattydale and Lyncourt who have generously provided prizes for our raffles. Great big thanks to: AMF Strike ‘n Spare, Carvel, Emerald City Salon, Il Barbiere Barbershop, Salt City Billiards, Sprague’s Auto Service, Syracuse Hemporium and Trick Automotive.
