Closing Survey

How would you assess your reading overall? 

Way less than normal. This RAT was so much about getting to see my best friend again. I had a good time and I'm fine with that. 

Did you have a strategy, and if so, did you stick to it? 

Oh, I did. I planned to focus on Addie Larue and finishing it. That didn't happen. 

What was your favorite snack? Banana Dip

Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon Hours 1-3

I'm so excited for Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon! I slept these first few hours so I can hopefully be awake enough to read lots! I'm so happy to be back in my library with Richard and Nancy.
