The Summer Reading Program contest
is open to patrons of all ages!

Did you know that reading can help you win
fun prizes at the library? Here’s how it works:

1) Beginning June 11, drop in at the library to register and pick up your reading log.

2) Read, read, read! The more you read, the faster you fill up your reading log! For those who are still learning, listening to someone read also counts!

3) Turn in completed reading logs any time between
June 12 and July 16. You will be given raffle tickets for your efforts!

4) All kids birth– grade 12 (in the fall) will earn a goodie bag for completing their first reading log.

5) Use your raffle tickets to enter to win prizes in your age category.

6) Tickets will be drawn and winners contacted the week of July 20. Good luck!!
