Legacy Projects > Hoosier Quest Summer Reading Program Hoosier Quest Summer Reading Program

Hoosier Quest Summer Reading Program is open to all Rush County readers. We will have a fun summer of reading and learning about the Hoosier state. We will celebrate with special programs and reading incentives to commemorate Indiana’s 200 years. We will decorate the library with Indiana history and displays so that readers can go on a virtual tour of our state. Special events such as a birthday party open house will highlight the summer.

Q&A with Legacy Project Coordinator Sue Prifogle

What do you consider the key accomplishment of your Legacy Project?

We had some great special events in conjunction with our Hoosier Quest reading program including special "Hoosier" visitors such as James Whitcomb Riley and Johnny Appleseed.

Describe a highlight or most memorable moment related to your Legacy Project.

We had a cookout celebrating the end of our summer reading program and Indiana's 200th Birthday. We served hot dogs, chips, drinks, and Bicentennial cupcakes! We had games and activities. About 50 people attended which is good for our library.
