Adult and Outreach Summer Reading Program
Adult Summer Reading
Summer Reading is for adults too! Participants will track the number of books read on reading logs that can be picked up at the Library or printed from the button below. Reading or listening to books or magazines will earn prize entries. Each entry will earn the reader a chance to win one of three grand prizes, as well as gift certificates from local businesses.
Returning this summer is our exciting “Bookopoly” game, where you will roll the dice to move along the board and complete the activities found on the space you land! Each completed space on your game board will earn you an additional prize entry!
When you pick up your reading log and Bookopoly game board, you will also receive a free book and a prize entry for a special registration prize!
All reading logs must be turned in by the end of the day on Friday, July 31! Upon completion, you will receive a special prize!
