"It's a pretty big milestone. We've celebrated along the way with a couple others, our 100,000th book, but 200,000 feels like a pretty big number," said Christine Berney, the Vice President of Community Engagement for the OKC Thunder. It's super fun to be able to celebrate that on our 15th anniversary as a team here in Oklahoma."
