YOUNG ADULT SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Summer Reading is right around the corner. Check out what we have in store for you after school's over!

A Midsummer Knight’s Read
Teens are invited to keep track of reading minutes for a chance to earn prizes. Readers will register at the children’s desk beginning Thursday, June 2 and receive a reading log. At home, you’ll record your reading time in the log. Before each visit to the library, please add up your most current reading minutes and write the total on the reading log. After 3 hours of reading, stop back at the library, have your reading log stamped, and grab a prize from the teen prize box or choose a grand prize raffle ticket.
