How to Participate

Readers can sign up at the library for a Summer Reading Program to attend any of the weekly events. Attendance is not mandatory and is free of cost. Registration begins Tuesday, May 27th, with the first program beginning on June 3rd. 

When middle schoolers register, they will receive a reading log to track their reading and listening time. For every two hours recorded, they’ll earn a ticket for entry into a prize drawing. Reading logs can be turned in weekly or every other week to be entered into the final prize drawing, which will be held during the last program session.
