Summer Reading Club
Get ready for Summer Reading Club!
Starting June 23, kids and teens can stop by the Library to pick up your summer reading journal.
Here’s how the Summer Reading Club works:
- Sign up in the Library, and grab your journal.
- Read: books, audiobooks, eBooks, and graphic novels all count!
- Report each title you read: use the online reading reporting form, paper ballots available at the desk, OR tell the staff at the Library’s Summer Reading desk
The reporting form will open June 23, and will be linked here. Each book you report enters you in a draw to win! If you haven’t officially signed up at the desk, you can still report reading on the Library's website.
The more you enter, the more chances you have to win!
Kids (Ages 0 - 12)
Make sure you stop by the Summer Reading desk to pick up a weekly giveaway!
Prizes for weekly draws vary, but could be a book, a craft kit, or a set of passes to a local attraction.
Teens (Ages 13 - 18)
Summer Reading is for Teens too! Enter each week for your chance to win prizes using the online form above.
