Flight To Mystery Island - Dozens of airplanes are headed for Mystery Island this summer. Each pilot is a member of the children's summer reading club sponsored by the Ann Arbor Public Library. With each book read, a member can hop a 1,000 miles toward his goal. Looking to see who has already arrived at the island are Mary Lou, Susie and Sally Ellsworth, sisters, living at 1417 Iroquois Pl. There is still time to join, Miss Hazel Keedle, children's librarian said. The contest lasts until school starts in September.

Handing out the certificates is Miss Hazel Keedle, children's librarian. Each member of the club was supposed to read at least 10 books during the summer. The four girls shown here read even more.

"Filling" Treasure Chests: This summer's children's reading club at the Ann Arbor Public Library was on a "pirate gold" theme. For each book a member read, he received a gold dot to place in his treasure chest. Helen Benjamin (left, above) of 1424 Iroquois Pl. writes a report on one of the 10 books she read. Anne Wing (center), not a club member, looks on as Tugar Gene Hunter of 710 Wagner Ave. reads his 56th book. Treasure chests are posted on board in background.

Reader's Record: Two public library visitors look over the big summer reading club bulletin board in the children's room. They are Judy Ann Kruger (left), 3 1/2, of 1030 Daniel St., and Monte Nagler, 15, of 1315 Beechwood Dr. This year's club theme was "By Spaceship to the Moon." Because a record number of 112 young readers made it to the "moon," their spacemen overflowed it and are posted above Monte's head. Neither visitor was a club member.
