Teen Reading Program

This year, participants can enter for a chance to win a brand new Nintendo Wii, the most revolutionary video game system ever. To enter, teens ages 12 to 17 simply read a book or magazine, watch a movie, or listen to a CD, then fill in one of the entry forms, writing down their impressions of what they’ve read. One entry form for each type of item (book, magazine, CD, DVD) can be submitted each week. At the end of August, a winner will be chosen. 

Genealogy Club

 Genealogy Club will begin meeting again in the fall. For more information about the Genealogy Club, contact Nora Clark at 597-6413
