Twelve-year-old Stephanie Reid is the winner of an MP3 player awarded by the Blanchard Public Library for the Teen Summer Reading Program.
“Make Waves at your Library” was the theme, and teens received a punch card to be entered into a drawing. They got “punched” each time they read a book, attended a program, completed an online evaluation or librarian’s choice.
Stephanie is the daughter of Steve and Lesley Reid, and her interests are music and sports.
Thirteen-year-old Aaron Dugas is the winner of a $25 Walmart gift certificate donated by the Friends of the Library for the library’s Summer Reading Program.
Aaron’s punch card was picked from among the teen entries for the drawing.
Aaron is the son of Bob and Michelle Dugas and is interested in sports, computers, games and art. |
