100 more readers take part in Libraries’ summer programme
By Alan Tristram
Some 55 children put their hands up when Merilyn Bartholomew asked questions at the last session of the Paraparaumu Library Summer Reading Programme.
Merylyn (right in photo) had been reading them her latest story, ‘Charlotte’s Mermaid,’ from the book ‘Shortz, Stories from Kāpiti.’
The children who completed the programme through the summer holidays all got a free book and a certificate marking their achievement.
The prizes were presented by librarian Angie Salmon (right)
