4. YDuth Service - Kathy Tremaine:
Summer reading activities have been planned and are being advertised. The 1980 theme
is "Summer of Champions" with "Champ" the beaver as mascot.
Local schools have been conducting tours through the City which have included a visit
and introduction to the Library. Tigard has conducted six such orientations.
During the summer months, story-time age limits will be expanded to eight-year olds to
encourage family attendance. Volunteers will be vacationing and the staff will be conducting
story time.
School visits to advertize the summer reading program have been made to the following:
Woodward, St. Anthony's, C.F. -Tigard and Gaarde. Information was left with librarians at
Phil Lewis, Twality, Durham, as well as Tigard Friends, Canterbury and Start Rite day-care
centers.
Claire Sheldon, staff, conducted a _bi-monthly story-time for the day-care group at
Start Rite this past winter. On display in children's room is a wall-sized expression
of the group's appreciation.
