Freeman's 2010 Reader Nation Winner

Congratulations to Susana Udengaard, Freeman Branch Winner for the 2010 Adult Summer Reading Program. Susana’s name was randomly drawn from those who registered for Reader Nation 2010 and logged the titles for 4 books that she read during this year’s Summer Reading Program (June 4th-August 6th). As a member of the Freeman Mystery Book Club, she reads a lot of mysteries, and over the summer she enjoyed some of Robin Paige’s books, even though she typically doesn’t like books from the Victorian era. Susana also volunteers weekly at the library, and was very excited to receive the $50 Amazon.com gift card because she already had plans to buy a book for her grandson. She loves the library and is looking forward to participating in next summer’s program.
