PARIS — The Paris Public Library concluded its 2024 summer activities and reading challenges on August 24. Besides the selection of programs the library offered over the summer, including Dungeons & Dragons, chess, weekly scavenger hunts, “Paris Maine Olympics” games, library mini-golf, almost weekly crafts, and Stuffy portraits with Sharon Merrill, the library again hosted its Summer Reading Challenges for kids.
This year, in keeping with the Olympic theme, the library had a Reading Marathon challenge where participants read up to 34 books, earning rewards for their progress. Paris Public Library also held a Dungeons and Dragons reading quest. Between the two reading challenges, over 60 children participated, with over 35 fully completing their marathons or quests.
The Paris Public Library wishes to thank Norway Soft Serve, the Paris McDonald’s, and the library’s Friends Group, the Seneca Club, for their continued sponsorship of the library’s summer reading prizes.
