Librarian suggests turning the page on longtime reading club winner

Meg Hagerty:

Tyler Weaver calls himself "the king of the reading club" at Hudson Falls Public Library. But now it seems Hudson Falls Public Library Director Marie Gandron wants to end his reign and have him dethroned.

The 9-year-old boy, who will be starting fifth grade next month, won the six-week-long "Dig into Reading" event by completing 63 books from June 24 to Aug. 3, averaging more than 10 a week.

He has consistently been the top reader since kindergarten, devouring a total of 373 books over the five contests, according to his mother, Katie.

"It feels great," said Tyler, an intermediate scholar student at Hudson Falls School. "I think that was actually a record-breaking streak."
