The 2010
Summer Reading Program at Fairbury Public Library splashed to
a close with a "whale" of a good time. Over a hundred children
and adults watched a blue whale balloon be inflated to its
full size of 70 feet long, 20 feet wide and 12 feet tall. The
children crawled inside the whale to learn about its eyes,
skin, ears and other characteristics. Outside the whale were
learning stations on habitat, flukes (tail) prints and
blubber. Previous Friday morning programs were on bubbles,
fishing and water rockets (Pressure!), all well attended and
lots of fun. 1,922 books were read between May 1st and June
25th and 109 children completed the program. The library
thanks Dean Baughman who provided the whale and bubble
programs, Jane Zabokrtsky for the program on fishing and Emily
Winter for the program on water pressure. Thanks also to
Maatsch's, Runza, McDonald's, Subway and Pizza Hut for
providing prizes for the readers.
