They have been motivated to explore local museums in order to earn their Queen Charlotte badge! They shared that last night they visited the Mint Museum during the free hours (Wednesdays from 5-9), and they also visited the Hezekiah Alexander House, where Levi posed with Queen Charlotte (picture attached!). Mandy and Levi have already completed the Summer Break challenge but continue to read and participate in the activities.
Mandy Nore and son Levi (SPK customer) From SB23
One of our OA patrons (Janet Saunders) who has been a long-time supporter continues tracking her activities and hours of reading for Summer Break. She recently lost her beloved son and shortly thereafter lost her cat of 12 years. Through her grief she finds reading not only a positive distraction from her loss, but a comfort. Activity-wise, Janet is a member of a knitting group that makes blankets, gloves, hats for preemie babies, homeless individuals, and families who’ve experienced a life changing crisis. She has been a reader since childhood, but now that she’s an octogenarian, she reads an average of 8 hours per day and sometimes completes a book a day. Her enthusiasm and love of reading inspires and reminds us of the value of reading. Janet read a total of 45,222 hrs/activities to complete SB 2023. "

"Because of my library, I can...have a quiet hour to read a book while my kids laugh and learn. We all look forward to the library programs, especially the Art programs! I am also hopeful that these programs will make the transition back to preschool easier in the Fall."

"Because of my library, I can...check out SO MANY different and exciting books from any CML branch and pick them up at our lovely Cornelius branch to enjoy reading and learning together at home all summer long! We especially enjoy the Playaway audiobooks for at-home individual quiet time 🙂
