Reader's Rally at El Toro Library

Reader's Rally at OC Public Libraries is in its third year. Each year it has gone through transformations and improvements. It began as an incentive for Orange County residents to visit a different branch of the OC Public libraries. With the high cost of gasoline and current economic woes, Reader's Rally has transformed into an open house at each branch. For a two week period beginning, February 1st and ending February 14th, you are encouraged to visit your local branch of OC Public Libraries. During the two weeks, anyone may participate in the trivia contest. Prizes will vary at the individual branches, some prizes are offered through the generousity of Friends of the Library Groups. We have a limited number of refrierator magnets with library information, braclet UBS drives for the drawing winners for each branch, and each branch will produce a READ Poster featuring the grand winner.

Each branch may choose a day during the two week period of Reader's Rally to have Open House Celebrations. AT El Toro we will be celebrating this on February 5th. A craft table will be available for kids through out the day. Balloons will be given out while supplies last. Between 2:00 and 4:00 pm we will have a reception in the comunity room with refreshments. And at 7:00 pm we will have a family program, featuring Abbit the Average, a comedy, magic and variety show for the whole family.

I'm aleardy making plans for next year.
