VIDEO: Barrington Area Library Summer Library Club Wrap-Up

Watch a fun wrap-up video about the Barrington Area Library's Summer Library Club 2011!

Our two Summer Library Clubs - "A Midsummer Knight's Read" for kids and "Novel Destinations" for teens and adults - have come to an end for 2011. 1,762 kids signed up for SLC and a record high of 862 children completed the club requirements, earning a free book from our Friends of the Barrington Area Library. 248 teens and adults participated in SLC along with 32 library staff members. So if anybody tells you reading is old-fashioned and out of style, we've got evidence to prove otherwise.

There's no better evidence than catching it on videotape, so we've wrapped up Summer Library Club for another year with a fun YouTube video starring...YOU, if you are one of the lucky readers we captured with our camera. Watch it here or on our Web site, balibrary.org. We are proud to be your hometown library and happy that you spent so much of your busy summer with us!
