Our Summer Quest programs are over! We’re optimistic our final tallies will show this year’s programs were resounding winners.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the programs and for your kind words. We hope your children had an enjoyable literacy experience that will benefit them as they start the new school year. As you pursued your goals, we would welcome hearing from adults regarding whether the programs and special events met your expectations and any suggestions for future events.

Thanks to all who contributed time, food and other objects and funds. We greatly appreciate the generous donations from various local companies and organizations.
