THANK YOU to our regular business sponsors for your support with past programs.
We mixed things up this year. Instead of asking these awesome business for prizes, we decided to thank them by returning the favor. Our Summer Reading Prize winners each received a $50.00 gift certificate to the business of their choice. A huge Thank You to the Friends of BPL who paid for these gift certificates. |
