LIVERMORE FALLS — Treat Memorial Library congratulates all participants who reached or exceeded their goals in the Summer Reading Program. This year’s theme was “Vote for Books,” which participants did, and the winner was “Interrupting Chicken” by David Ezra Stein. Randy Judkins presented “Comedy with Character” as the guest entertainer at the finale.
At the finale top readers were recognized by age groups and category, either the number of books or the number of hours read: 1- to 4-year-olds, Natasha M. for number of hours, Rachel W. for number of books; 7- to 8-year-olds, Carter F. for hours, Kassidy W. for books; 9- to 12-year-olds, Hanni J. for hours, Abby O. for books; and teens, Caroline D. for number of books.

Family Story Time will start at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 8. All ages are welcome.
The Knit/Crochet Group meets every fourth Tuesday evening at 5:30 p.m.

Repairs continue downstairs where there was water damage. Outside, the Doris Demillo Memorial Garden now has a granite bench. There is now a bike rack for everyone’s convenience, to keep bikes off the walkway. The new bookdrop is in place, custom made for the library by Howie’s Welding. The bookdrop has two slots, one large and one small. The large slot is for books, of course, but the small slot is for DVDs and CDs.
The library recently received donations of music CDs, some children’s, teen’s and adult. Also, there are new DVDs. The Download Library is available through the online catalog at https://treat.biblionix.com/atoz/catalog/. Click on “See what’s hot” for a list of all the new items.
