Gurnee boy wins bike from Dinosaur Reading Club

At age 6, some kids are just learning to sound out words on paper. Others, like kindergartner Catcher Salazar of Gurnee, pore through whole books - and a lot of them. On March 17, Catcher took home a new bike donated by Midwest Bicycle and Billiards for winning the Dinosaur Reading Club at the Waukegan Public Library, which ran from Nov. 15, 2009, to March 15, 2010.

Catcher's mom, Jhoanna Salazar, says her son, who attends Gurnee Grade School, likes books on "just about everything," particularly nonfiction books about animals.

The library will sponsor a Summer Reading Club with more prizes, from June 1 to Aug. 31. For information, visit the Children's Department at the Waukegan Public Library, 128 N. County St., Waukegan.

For more information about the library, call (847) 623-2041, or visit waukeganpl.org.
