The folks at Florissant-Valley may have lost a participant, but we picked up an extra thousand pages from last month. (Thank goodness Sharon picked up some Wally Lamb! lol) Our HP compatriots seem to be kicking all of our derierres so as much as I hate to say it, "Congrats to you guys in the warehouse. I guess your home lives must be very sad." LOL! Just teasing you guys. We would never be able to do a thing without any of you. We are so very glad to be alongside all the great men and women of STLCC Libraries!
Now, let's get down to business, shall we?
The combined totals for Flo-Valley and Wildwood are as follows:
# of participants: 6
# of books: 26
# of pages: 9327
Sandy Morris takes the prize for most books and pages read. 3285! Twice as much as anyone else in our group! Turns out July was too hot for her to do anything other than read. I heard that!
