Ina Gibson, Teen Librarian, dresses Sir Read-A-Lot for each season and event at The Collinsville Library. During Hogs and Hot Rods Ina and Sir Ral had a teen summer reading sign up on the front lawn of the Library...Sir Read-A-lot is dressed for his Route 66 vacation. To date 157 teens are participating in the Teen Summer Reading Program. Each will have a chance for great prizes drawn in August and a weekly opportunity to win a $5 gift certificate from Quick Trip. The best perk
of all is....we waive your fines so you have a clean record. To be qualified as a teen you need to have completed 6th grade. The summer reading program for teens and children will continue through August 11, 2007. -- Dr. Susan Babbitt
