Annual Library Report

The Teen Advisory Board at the high school increased its membership, and had a great year planning engaging programs. We had Star War's Trivia and Disney Trivia programs, Halloween Bingo, Two days to relax before finals started, and several craft programs!

• After having some interest from the grade schools about the Monarch program, we supported that program at Sherrard Elementary and Winola Elementary. Library aides Susan Bosold and Karen Millichamp read all the books during library time, and students in K-3 got to vote! (4th grade also voted for the school total).
• Matherville had 62 students participate in the Caudill Award, and the junior high had 22 students vote, after not having enough students to vote for several years. Students have to read at least three books from a list of twenty to participate.
• We also support the Lincoln Award at the High School.

In addition to students coming to the library with classes, we also welcomed 1,668 students in throughout the year for a variety of purposes.

To see even more great activities from the year, look at the newsletters from the year!
