The final numbers are in, and 2019 was another stellar year for the Summer Reading Program at Rolling Hills Library, with our theme being a Universe of Stories.
We had 2,794 people register for the summer program, and 1,447 of them (or 51.8 percent) met or exceeded their reading goals. That’s an increase of 139 over the 2018 success rate, when just 43.5 percent of participants met their goal.
Participants can select how to keep track of their reading in our program, choosing the number of books read, minutes read or pages read. This year, our participants read 23,317 books, 56,151 minutes and 127,844 pages, exceeding goals in each category (with pages read seeing a 42.7 percent increase over 2018 pages read).
We also put on 140 summer classes and events at the Belt and Savannah branches, drawing 3,764 participants.
