Ready, Set, READ! 🏁 The Summer Reading Challenge kicks off Monday, June 1st!

From babies to grandparents, we want the whole town turning pages this summer. Stop by the library next week to pick up your tracking punch cards and win big! πŸ†βœ¨

Here’s what’s up for grabs:
🍬 Kids: Daily candy for reading + a game of library Plinko for grand prizes!
🎁 Teens: Plinko drops + entries into exclusive teen prize drawings.
🧺 Adults: Incredible prize baskets... AND a chance to help us beat York to reclaim the local reading trophy! πŸ₯Š

πŸ‘€ Pro-Tip: Earn punches twice as fast! Any book with the words β€œRed,” β€œWhite,” or β€œBlue” in the title gets you DOUBLE points.

Let's show everyone what Seward is made of. What are you reading first? πŸ‘‡

Your toxic trait has a book recommendation waiting for you. πŸ™Š
