Our Atherton Library Open House took place on Friday, April 17 at 11 am. The event was held to celebrate the 51st year of National Library Week. Just before the event started An Hollowell, Library Assistant, went through the entries for our Guessing Game contest to find a winner. The closest guess was from student Yukako Hobin who's guess of 253 was the closest (the actual number of candies in the jar was 247). Congratulations, Yukako! You win the candy jar and a $20 Dave and Buster's Power Card.
During the Open House students were offered cake, chips, brownies, cupcakes, macaroons, and coffee and most were more than happy to partake. Everyone was also encouraged to participate in our library quiz for a chance to win one of the great prizes available this year. The prizes were donated by library staff and local businesses alike and included: Bath & Bodyworks soap gift sets, Lancome make-up gift bags, koa wood bookmarks, Menchies t-shirts, and gift cards galore from Starbucks, Safeway, Jamba Juice, Old Navy/Gap/Banana Republic, and McDonald's. Twenty-three students took up the challenge and walked away with a prize.
Thanks to everyone for helping us make this year's National Library Week a success!
