magazines you planned to get to this summer, or use one of our museum passes, attend one of the popular

outdoor concerts, learn from our interesting presenters, have your children or teens participate in the Summer

Reading Clubs or just unwind at a comfy chair and read a newspaper or use our Wi-Fi – all FREE! There is

Get ready for some sizzling excitement! This show is

filled with juggling, audience participation,

balancing, and tons of comedy! All children

who participated in our summer reading program

are invited to our Summer Reading Finale Party.

Sponsored by the Friends Of The Library. Thank

you for all that you do to enrich our library and our

community.

The 2016 Summer Reading Program, “On Your Mark, Get Set…READ” is winding down, and of course we'd like to give a big thank you to THE

CHILDREN OF SEAFORD who participated. Because without our young readers there wouldn't be a

Summer Reading Club. We had a record number of children register and participate in Summer

Reading including:

700+ registered participants 8,000+ people attended 80+ events Way to go Seaford!

Many thanks again to our volunteers who put in many busy hours during the months of June, July

and August. Without these dedicated workers, the Summer Reading Program would not be possible. An especially big note of thanks to Miss Sabrina,

Miss Nathalie, Miss Margaret, Maggie & Christopher. They are so amazing, both individually and as a

fantastic team. THANK YOU!
