It’s a wrap! As summer draws to an end, so does the Fort Bragg Library’s Summer Reading Program.
Despite the challenges, we had 140 participants—111 kids, 19 teens (12 and up) and 10 adults with 40 finishers, so far.
Although Summer Reading has ended, we are holding on to prizes for a few more weeks to give each participant an opportunity to bring their logs to the library’s RETURNS door where they can collect their final prize/s.
