Congratulations to our winners of our Summer Reading Program Teen Prizes!! Teens were given the opportunity to enter into a couple of drawings if they filled out a survey regarding the Summer Reading Program they attended. Every branch had a small giveaway prize (a portable charger), and then we had a grand prize for the entire county (a gaming chair!).

I want to congratulate Merced's branch prize winner, Olivia! And I want to give a HUGE congratulations to our county-wide winner, Ivan!! Yes, the picture with the box :)

The surveys that were filled out by teen participants helps make teen programs better, so I want to thank everyone who filled out a survey for our Mary Hofmann Teen Central this summer. We hope to see you next year!!

Enjoy an extra pic of one of our Teen Central employees shaking the box with our surveys as we chose our winners!
