“A whopping amount!” was what Youth Services Librarian Gina Schiff called it. Readers did it again and out-read the $1500 pledge from Whitefish Credit Union by placing 1,954 stickers on the Special Olympics flag posted next to the Circulation desk.
“Each year, the Whitefish Credit Union pledges an amount. Each year, our readers read beyond that amount, and each year, the Credit Union honors that. We are so happy for our readers and for the Glacier Area Special Olympics,” stated Schiff.
A check for $1,954 from the Whitefish Credit Union is now on its way to Glacier Area Special Olympics.
Readers of all ages read for a total of 10.85 months, day and night, among them members of the Marley family, pictured below in front of the 1,954 stickers.
