Jervis Public Library Children's Room presents

Catch the Reading Bug!
Miss Lorie’s 2008
Summer Reading Challenge
(and “read-to-me” challenge, too!)

Last summer Miss Lorie set the challenge at 200,000 minutes, and the kids read past that and more. 
This summer, let’s set a new record!  And, Miss Lorie will make it interesting:

If the kids in the Summer Reading Club read (or are read to) for 300,000 minutes,
Miss Lorie will dye her hair electric blue with permanent color
in time for the Summer Reading Challenge final celebration!

So, are you up to the challenge?? Then, you’d better get reading!!
