Participants in the Belfast Free Library Summer Reading program won prizes as they played the game "Read, Renew, Repeat."
One stop on the game was an altruistic moment to `give` instead of `getting` and they were eager to support Avian Haven in Freedom.
In honor of all the summer readers, Librarian Stephanie Holman presented the local bird hospital with a check to help their patients and a large card signed by all the youth participants.
Thank you readers! Thank you Avian Haven!
