Memorial Day is upon us and that means Summer Reading is just around the corner! This summer we will be offering reading challenges for all ages (detailed below) and a wide variety of programming. This week's post will cover some of our upcoming June programs, so make sure you check our website for more information on all our summer events.
Reading Challenges: June 9-August 12
- For Kids:
- Ask for a reading log at the Youth Services Desk to keep track of the amount of time spent reading. Choose your own path of how much you'd like to read this summer (or how much your parents will read to you).
- Track your progress! Mark your path for every hour you read and pick up stickers at the desk to mark your path as you go.
- Complete paths, get prizes! Submit a reading log with a finished path to choose a book prize from our cart. Each completed path earns a prize drawing ticket. Prize cart will be available starting July 10.
- For Teens:
- Ask for a reading log at the Youth Services Desk to keep track of the amount of time spent reading. Choose your own goal of how much you think you can read this summer, then figure out what halfway to your goal will be and mark it on your log. Aim high!
- Did you make your halfway mark or final goal? At your halfway goal, show us your log for a prize drawing ticket. When you reach your final goal, turn in your reading log to choose a book from our prize cart and a second ticket for our prize drawing! Prize cart will be available starting July 10.
- For Adults:
- Ask for a BINGO card at the Main Service Desk to keep track for the number of books you read over the summer.
- Read (or listen to) 5 books that fit the categories in one line: vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
- Did you complete a BINGO? Turn in your reading log by August 12 and a book of your choice will be ordered for you. You will earn a drawing ticket for the completed BINGO card and an additional drawing entry for each additional book read.
