The Youngsville Borough has provided us with Day Pool Passes for incentive prizes, and Bob's Garage has pledged to help co-sponsor the cost of T-shirts with Dr. Joseph Pikna, which means that we are more than half-way toward our T-shirt goal. In addition we would like to thank Barb Sorvelli, Peggy Olson, and Connie Lucia for their individual cash contributions. These contributions will be used to provide additional raffle-incentive prizes for our program. It is so awesome to see the pride on our Summer Reader's faces when they turn in their reading logs and receive their grab-bag prizes and raffle tickets.
