Congratulations to Pinckney Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program Grand Prize Winners!

Congratulations to Pinckney Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program Grand Prize Winners!

Summer may be coming to a close, but the reading doesn’t end, especially if readers had fun participating in the program. Now, adults at the Pinckney Community Public Library enjoyed the same fun as their children when they participated in the library’s second annual Adult Summer Reading Program. The program ended on Tuesday, September 5, and grand prizes were drawn from the 155 entries submitted.

As with last year, this year’s adult summer reading program looked to be a hit with participant. Kate Pratt, a resident of Pinckney and one of the grand prize winners, thought the program was great. “I don’t remember when I enjoyed a program more,” she said. “It’s new for me as an adult…I haven’t done any summer reading programs except as a kid. It’s nice to know there’s one for adults to participate in.” And the prizes were an added bonus for this prolific reader.

But what she thoroughly enjoyed most about the program was to be able to share her opinions on the books she’d read with others in the community. New this year to the program was the posting of shared reviews on the library’s Adult Services Blog (http://pcpladultserviceslibrarian.blogspot.com). The blog seems a popular and convenient way for community members to see what others had also read over the summer. “I liked the whole sharing of my opinion with others. I usually just talk to [the library staff] about the titles I’ve read, but this was great to share with others in the community,” Kate Pratt added. “I thought this was a really good program, and I liked the prizes, too. I’d definitely do it again.”

The Pinckney Library would like to thank all the area and local businesses who donated prizes to this year’s summer reading program—including Rush Lake Golf Club, PTs Fresh Mex, Jennifer’s Quilts Shop, Carousel Gifts and Floral, Pinckney Pharmacy, China House Restaurant, Mainly Chocolate, Riverside Pizza, Salon on Main, Towne Square Pizza, Pinckney True Value and Dairy Queen in Hamburg.
