Posted on behalf of Betsy Stroomer, Lafayette (CO) Public Library:
Each year, we try to plan something a little bit outrageous to thank our community for its participation in our summer reading program.
In keeping with this summer’s creativity theme, our staff pledged to perform a hula at our grand finale program if our readers met or exceed our reading goal of 15,000 hours of reading. About 10 of us studied hula with a teacher from Boulder’s Halau Hula O Na Mauna Pohaku http://www.maunapohaku.org/ (Hula School of the Rockies) and practiced really hard!
And as it turned out, we had a lot to celebrate! 3,131 members of our community of about 25,000 read with us (including 300+ adults and 500+ teens) and as of early this week, our readers had reported over 26,000 hours of reading.
About 200 people came to see us make good on our pledge Tuesday night.
We had a blast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iozgeSw9Jxo
