GET READY FOR A SUMMER FULL OF FUN
Make reading the highlight of your summer! Join the Summer Reading Challenge, track your reading, and earn exciting prizes all summer long. Registration begins June 1.
YOUR CHALLENGE, YOUR RULES
Earn points your way by defining what your goal is per point. Some examples are:
1 point for each book read
1 point for every 30 minutes of listening to an audiobook
1 point for each graphic novel read
After you meet your goal, log your progress online. Once you hit 10, 20, 30, and 40 points, stop by the Library starting June 10 to pick up a prize. You'll also earn a ticket every ten points, which can be put toward a grand prize basket of your choice. Make sure to allocate all your tickets online to your desired basket before August 2!
