Eagle Lake Noon Lions Club welcomed speaker Vicki Powers, who has been the Librarian at the David and Eula Winterman Library for the past 23 years. Each summer, the library hosts a 6-week Summer Reading Program for children in the community.
This June-July, 53 children were enrolled, grades Kindergarten through 5th Grade. Exciting speakers and demonstrations were enjoyed by the kids each week. Interactive programs from 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 3rd through 5th graders read 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.”
