Summer Reading – Vista Apartments
Summer Reading signups – 24 kids

Last year we did the Library Summer Reading program at Vista, and didn’t have any finishers.  So this year we tailored the program to run more like our school year program with specific challenges.  And we got 14 finishers!  A great result.
