2005 ADULT SUMMER READING PROGRAM

The Adult Summer Reading Program for 2005, Egvpl at the Movies, ended just after Labor Day. A record number of readers signed up, 320. 197 finished by reading or seeing 5 selections chosen from 10 different categories, thereby earning the black t-shirt with the logo in red and gold. 267 participants reported at least 1 selection. There were 34 winners of the various raffle drawings; the top 3 readers won additional prizes. There was one reader who read 105 books and one who reported reading 91. The next highest number of books read were 75 and 55 (but they had won in the last two years and were not eligible). The next highest reader, with 48 books, got the 3rd place prize. Four more particpants read 40 or more books, seven read between 30 and 36 books, sixteen read between 20 and 29 books, fifty-six read between 10 and 19 books, and 78 read between 6 and 9 books. Fifty-three did not report anything at all after signing up. 2815 books, audio tapes, and films were reported on in all.
