That’s a wrap! Today’s post is going to be a quick one, because we have prizes to draw today and winners to contact! If you entered a drawing with your tickets on Beanstack, please be sure to have bwpl@sailsinc.org as a contact, as the winners will be contacted from that email address.
Let’s look at some numbers:
Summer reading was 49 days long.
This summer, there were 205 participants in the “Read Beyond the Beaten Path” 2022 Summer Reading Program.
We had 139 people between the ages of 0-12 register for the program on Beanstack and 66 people who were 13+.
Ages 0-12 read a total of 1024 hours over 7 weeks.
Ages 13+ read a total of 971 hours over 7 weeks.
The most hours that patrons logged were during week 4; we read 246.5 hours that week.
As a library, we read over 1994 hours between June 27, 2022 and August 15, 2022.
We held 25 in person children’s programs and over 630 people attend (and the programs are still going- check out website Bridgewater Public Library for all events).
We handed out over 90 crafts.
Over 3,185 children’s materials were checked out in July from the Bridgewater Public Library.
We gave away 7 bags of books to weekly winners and 29 prizes were drawn for the end of summer reading.
