Subject: Summer Reading Program

Hello Ms. Reish,

                                     My name is Garry Pringle, I am the village manager in the Genesee County Park System. I help operate a 19^th century village here in Flint, MI.   Over the years we have done various programs to encourage Summer reading . This year we are holding an event on Saturday August 9^th. This requires nothing from libraries except to partner with us on this event. If you think that some of the libraries in the state would be interested please pass this on. If they would like to contact me about partnering please feel free to share my contact information.

                     Thank You,

                                           Garry Pringle

                                          Village Manager

Literary Day

August 9 – To encourage summer reading, we use this day to bring a 19^th century book to life.  The theme this year is science, and the book is…Frankenstein! Spend the day with our mad scientists, doctors and more!  Dress as your favorite character from the story of Frankenstein, and present your library card to get one free Village admission.
