Looking for something to do this summer, how about reading? If you read enough you may even win a gift certificate. What do I mean? Well the Dorthory Alling Memorial Library has a summer reading program. All you have to do is tell one of the librarians that you wish to take part and start reading a book, listening to an audio book (great for those long car trips!) or read a comic book or magazine. For every half hour you read you will get a sticker and you will get to enter your name in a raffle. Every five stickers you get to pick a free book. The raffle is separated by age groups and you can win some pretty cool prizes. Like a gift card to Starbucks or a movie pass. The more you read the more your name is entered and the more of a chance you have of winning. So when you have nothing to do this summer, instead of watching TV and going brain dead, pick up a book, and maybe win some awesome things.  You can read more about the program here:  http://www.williston.lib.vt.us/images/st

She figures that if her parents aren't coming for her she will just have to find them. Well after many failed attempts a women comes to the orphanage saying she is a private secretary to Oliver Warbucks, a famous billionaire. Over time Annie and Warbucks bond and Warbucks helps Annie find her parents. But a jealous Hannigan, the evil orphanage instructor, and her brother, Rooster, along with his partner in crime Lily get a nasty idea that may stop Annie from knowing the truth about her real parents.
