   A couple of years ago, as I wandered around my local library wondering what to read, I came upon the idea of reading all of the Pulitzer Prize winners for fiction dating back to 1917. I have read 67 of the 81 (soon to be 82) books, and it has been the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever undertaken. Part of the challenge is finding the older, long-forgotten books. The biggest pleasure is reading something that is just as good as those on the NY Times Bestseller list.

   In order to create excitement and make the community aware (about 2000 people) we decided to Bug Prattsburgh. The area merchants, doctors and the town have been great about putting our Bugs on prominent display in their lobbies, on their counters and in their windows along with posters about the Summer Reading Program and Catching the Reading Bug at out Library. We have bookworms, bees (Bee a Reader), Firefly (light up your life with books), spider (crawl into a good book) also caterpillars, lady bugs, centipedes, etc. The local bank has a miniture library made from a shoe box with bugs reading. It has been fun and we have gotten quite a few new patrons, donations and sign ups for our programs.
