FOR THE CHILDREN:
A Very Big Thank You from the Gale Library! We would like to take a moment to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the local businesses and library patrons that so generously donated to our Summer Reading Program Raffle this year. We had an amazing 6-weeks of Tails & Tales Animal Fun and every child that logged hours won a prize!
Our top readers for this summer were Reme Foucher, Nicolas Degruttola, Sophie Eulie and Lily Eulie, who all read 40+ hours, and Paul Roberts who read over 14 books in 6 weeks… Nice job guys!
If your children logged reading time, their prize is ready for pick up. Head on over to the library during our open hours to see what was won! We truly could not have done it without the support of our wonderful community.
