Week 3 Guessing Jar Winner

Congratulations to Christina, this week's Guessing Jar winner! Christina guessed that the jar contained 2,000 coffee beans, and it contained 1,803. She chose a Jenga set as her prize.

Don't miss your chance to guess! This week, the Guessing Jar contains Swedish Fish. How many do you think there are?

Buzz Buzz! We've donated honeybees!

We've reached our second reading goal of the summer! We just passed 700 hours, which means we're donating honeybees through Heifer International! To find out more about how honeybees help struggling communities, visit Heifer International's website.

We're on our way to our next goal of donating tree seedlings if we read 1000 hours, so keep reading and keep coming to the library to log your hours!

Another Guessing Jar Winner!

Congratulations to our second Guessing Jar winner, Matthew! He guessed closest to the correct number of Italian Glitterati candies in our jar. He won his choice of prizes and chose a giant ball, perfect for these sunny days!

Don't miss your chance at winning! Stop in at the library and try guessing the number of coffee beans (from South America) in this week's Guessing Jar.

We did it!

Congratulations readers of Watertown! Together, we've read 353 hours! That means that we've reached our first reading goal, so we'll be able to donate a flock of chicks to Heifer International and help others around the world!

You can find out more about how donating a flock of chicks will help a struggling community by visiting Heifer International's website.

Keep reading everybody! We've still got three more goals to go! Remember to come into the library and log your hours, and don't forget about our great programs too!

Our First Guessing Jar Winner!

Congratulations to Christopher, the first winner or our weekly guessing jar contest! He had the closest guess as to how many NECCO wafers were in our guessing jar (he guessed 90, and there were 83). He got to choose a prize and chose an Uno Spin game!

Would you like a chance to win? Each week we'll have a candy from a different country in our guessing jar. You can stop in and guess how many are in the jar every week until August 17.

Good luck!

Peep peep! We're close to donating some chicks!

This summer we're keeping track of all the hours read by all the kids in Watertown! We're reading toward donating animals to Heifer International. And guess what? We're almost to our first goal!

We've already read 221 hours! We only have 79 hours to go before we can donate some adorable baby chicks. So keep reading everybody! And keep on visiting the library and recording your hours on your reading log!
