The
summer reading program, "Read for the win," wrapped
up this week with special guests Mike and Jenna
O'Brien presenting stories from popular children's
books, acted out with puppets. The O'Briens are a
new feature this year, but will surely be back in
the future, as children and adults alike were
completely taken in by the performances of the
puppets, and the sets and props designed and painted
by the O'Briens.
