They are, unfortunately, in no logical order.
The Buoy Book, which I will hide in the stacks every morning before the program opens. If the kids find it, they get a piece of candy. This was one of my favorite parts of the program as a kid.
Of course the ceiling is decorated.
One carefully labeled card for each child that signs up for the program. White means school aged, independent reader - otherwise known as a "Bubbly Reader". We are expecting over 725 this year.

Our little tikes, the kids not old enough to read independently, are in the Read-to-Me-Club. This year, they're called Squirts. These are the favors they get when they sign up.
