Step one of the Summer Reading Program is to register using the form above. This lets us know how many people are participating, which helps us prepare our supplies! Our Summer Reading Program is made up of many different activities including programs, crafts, Storytimes, activities, and reading challenges. If you participate in at least one activity you are eligible to enter to win a grand prize! For children and teens completing a reading log, and for adults completing a BINGO card are just some examples of things you can do that can earn you a grand prize entry. Some activities may earn you smaller awards as well, such as our Silly Saturday program for kids. There will be grand prizes for adults, teens, and children. The more activities you participate in, the more chances you have of wining the grand prize! In order to be eligible to win the grand prize, reading logs and BINGO cards must be given to library staff by September 7th. No late entries will be allowed. The grand prize winners will be announced on September 8th!
