JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –
The Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Library got summer started May 18 in a tasty fashion with "Reading is so Delicious!" - the 2012 Summer Reading Program's theme. The program encouraged children of all ages, including high school-aged children, who are dependents of Department of Defense ID cardholders, to read as many books as they could during the summer break.
A large part of the Summer Reading Program at Randolph are contests geared to engage participants. A few of the contests included a poetry and bookmark design contest with various prizes. Students in grades 9 through 12 had the chance to win an electronic book reader if they registered for a book review contest, where they were required to read five out of eight books on a reading list and submit book reviews.
Prizes were awarded on Wednesdays, May 30 through July 18, and the finale party was July 28.
