Summer Library Challenge: Wrap-Up

Posted 1 August 2014 in events /0 Comments

The Summer Library Challenge concluded today. These were my goals:

  • Visit the library once a week – COMPLETE!!
  • Read 12 library books – NEARLY!
  • Attend two library-hosted events – PARTIAL
    • I participated in an Ideas Fair, during which my library collected feedback from patrons on how the library might become more involved in the community.
    • I didn’t make it to any of the events I mentioned in my mid-way post. So much to do, so little time!

I was also lucky enough to win two of the giveaways – an Amazon gift card and The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson. Thank-you to Kristen @ The Book Monsters for hosting such a fun challenge! I enjoyed reading about other bloggers’ libraries, and I’m happy I was motivated to engage a little bit more with my library before my big move.
