Ogema Public Library's Summer Reading Program

Ogema Public Library’s Summer Reading Program had 56 participating children  plus some parents that stayed to help or join in the fun! 

Ogema, Wisconsin, located in Price County, has a population of 840 people.  Jay Heims, the library director, had fun reading and doing activities with the Primary group (4-8yrs.), with the help of Sharon Klassen, volunteer.  

Susan Freiboth, library aide, did reading and active activities with the Tweens group (9-12 yrs.). Connie Grapa and Wendy Rebne had both groups at different times for a Healthy Snack/Game time.

All the participants enjoyed many different water themed activities. A hit with the Primaries was the "Sink or Float" activity with Jay.

On the last day, the Tweens had fun participating in a Pirate Scavenger hunt using written clues along with the Card Catalog to find the corresponding book which then led them onto the next clue to find the wooden "Treasure Chest" filled with goodies!

All that attended were winners!
