A SPECIAL THANK YOU
The Biggest & Best Summer Reading Program Yet!
As we turned the final page on this year’s Summer Reading Program, our hearts are overwhelmed with gratitude. We’re feeling so blessed, thankful, appreciative, and filled with warmth from the incredible kindness of our community.
This summer was truly something special — filled with stories, crafts, missions, games, events, and fun for all ages (Baby ➝ Adult)!
CONGRATULATIONS to all our participants!
We are so proud, so thankful, and so inspired by every reader, parent, caregiver, volunteer, sponsor, and partner who helped bring the joy of reading to life at TPPL. Whether you were exploring books, completing missions, attending events, or cheering others on — YOU made a difference.
This year’s theme — “Color Our World” — was all about coming together as a community and blending art, creativity, and literacy to make something truly special. And thanks to ALL OF YOU, we turned this summer into a masterpiece.
Highlights:
123 incredible participants
22 hardworking volunteers
49 passionate guest presenters
50+ generous sponsors & partners
And a prize-filled celebration including:
11 bicycles | Zero gravity chairs | and more along with Paint sets | Books |
Ice cream coupons | French fries coupons | T-shirts | Big Bear Tubing passes…
and so much more!
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to:
Our Amazing Participants — You’re the reason we do this.
Our Dedicated Volunteers — You helped us dream big and do even bigger.
Our Inspiring Presenters — You brought the spark to every event.
Our Generous Sponsors & Donors — Your support turned dreams into reality and made the impossible, possible.
Your creativity, curiosity, and community spirit colored our world in the best possible ways. You all made this a summer to remember — and we are proud beyond words.
THANK YOU!!!
Until next time, keep reading, keep dreaming, and keep shining.
