We’re finalizing the last few details and can’t wait to share with you all the great programs and reading challenges we have to offer!
Kids (Ages 0-12)
This year’s summer reading challenge starts on Saturday, June 21st. Pick up your reading log, summer reading t-shirt, and coupon for a slice of pizza starting at 10 am! Reading logs will be available all summer, but t-shirts and pizza coupons are while supplies last.
For this year’s summer reading challenge
- Read or listen to a book for your usual amount of time.
- Color in a circle on the flowers on the reading log for each reading session. After five reading sessions, return to the library and collect your prize – a free book!
- Keep reading! You will earn a prize ticket for each reading session 6-10. Use your tickets to enter to win a variety of prizes, gift cards to LEGO. Prize entries can be completed at the Children’s Desk.
- Don’t want to stop after completing your first reading log? Ask us for another log to keep reading. You’ll receive two tickets for every additional log you complete. Winners will be notified by the end of August . Please make sure your email and phone number is correct on all ticket entries.
