The theme “Catch a Dragon by the Tale” was this year’s Summer Library Program at Liberty-Benton Elementary. With the help of Alida Hause and Angie Garlock, the program was a huge success for our students. We had 308 kids ranging from age 3 to age 15 attend the program 1,575 times that lasted from June 8 through August 6. Students had the opportunity to check out books and take Accelerated Reader quizzes. Students read 856 books and took 878 quizzes. Wow!!! What an accomplishment for the summer.
