SCLSNJ Celebrates Summer Reading Challenge With the Somerset Patriots
The Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ) partnered with the Somerset Patriots for an action-packed Library Night held on August 27, 2019, at the Ballpark to commemorate the completion of SCLSNJ’s Summer Reading Challenge. Baseball fans and Library customers connected with multiple authors; shared the fun of baseball; discovered what their Library had to offer; and more.
The Library System saw increases in both patron participation and total days read from 2018. The 9,600 Somerset County residents that participated in the Summer Reading Challenge logged a total of 181,910 days read, a 6 percent increase from the previous year.
