EAGLE LAKE — The Eagle Lake Noon Lions Club recently welcomed speaker Vicki Powers, the David and Eula Wintermann Library librarian for the past 23 years. Each summer, the library hosts a six-week Summer Reading Program for children in the community.
Powers gave a presentation on the Summer Reading Program. This June-July, 53 children were enrolled, grades Kindergarten through fifth grade. The kids enjoyed exciting speakers and demonstrations each week. Interactive programs from the Texas A&M Science Road Show and The Houston Museum of Natural Science, along with other special speakers, entertained the students and motivated them to read and research to learn more about our wonderful world. Each student had reading goals to reach throughout the program.
The K-2 graders met their goal by reading nearly 300 books. The third through fifth graders read a total of 22,208 pages to meet their goal. Many prizes were awarded during the Celebration Pizza Party at the end of the “Adventure Begins at Your Library Summer Reading Program.”
