1,000 books

Shipman joined several other Boerne youngsters who have their names on the wall of the youth department as having achieved the goal. Shipman chose to receive the book “Just Saving My Money” by Mercer Mayer as his 1,000th book reward. Information from the family stated the 3-year-old’s favorite things to read about are construction vehicles, dinosaurs and airplanes. Submitted photo
