Lights on After School with Duncan ACE!

07/22/2024

At our recent Friends of Library meeting librarian Ren Ortiz updated us on the Summer Reading Program he has implemented for the last 2 years. Participation went from 15 last yr to 41 this year. The program began June 1 and will conclude July 31. He and Connie Herron, Director of the ACE after school program for FCISD worked together to coordinate the program. Students read age appropriate books of their choice that can be worth up to 3 tickets depending on length and difficulty. Tickets earned can be spent on prizes in the Summer Reading Store. Those completing 25 books will be entered in the Golden Ticket Drawing for a chance at 4 grand prizes: 2 bikes,(donated by Nathan & Connie Johnson) a 32” smart TV, and a WiFi/bluetooth compatible hoverboard. The wrap-up party and grand prize drawing will be held in August and all participants will have a chance to finish spending their tickets.
Our next FOL meeting will be September 19.

The Friends of the Library met Thursday, July 19 and librarian Ren Ortiz reported that he had used grant money intended for technology improvement to purchase a tri-chrome laser projector with a 150” screen. This will be available for use in the media/conference room upon request. Ren is excited to have the technology to host meetings for outside entities as well as utilizing it for kid’s programs within the library.
