Learning Wins!  The dreaded summer slide didn’t stand a chance this year at the Markesan Public Library.  Readers smashed through the summer reading challenge with phenomenal numbers.  We had 49 children signed up for the challenge with a total of 1,723 books logged and 40139 minutes read or 669 hours!  Adults and teens likewise crushed our benchmarks.  We had 31 adult and teens reading for a total of 55127 minutes or 919 hours of reading.

Thanks to the folks at the Little Red Barn and in honor of June Dairy month, kids could get a free $3 coupon for ice cream at Ted’s Piggly Wiggly and a little recipe for a milk shake when they check out one of our Farm-tastic picture books.  Supplies are limited so stop in at the library today. 

Awaken your sense of wonder, play, and discovery at the Markesan Public Library this Summer!  "Imagine Your Story" with exciting performances and events, reading incentives for the whole family, and lots of fun. 

Raffle prizes drawn Monday, Aug. 3!
