That's it, folks! Our eight week whirlwind of summer programming for kids has finally died down to relative calm (emphasis on the word "relative"). Summer 2011 featured a grand total of 56 events that entertained 15, 283 people! No wonder parking was so difficult to come by this summer! Here's a quick breakdown for the number-obsessed:

42 shows in the Library Theatre = 12,862 attendance, average 306 per show

7 storytimes = 1,252 attendance, average 179 per storytime

7 special events = 1,169 attendance

Thanks for continuing to come out in droves to support Summer Reading at the Hoover Public Library! We had a blast, and, judging from the pictures, you did too!
