2013 Summer Reading Program
Registration and Reading
Program Dates: May 28th - June 29th
How the Program Works
Step 1: Set a goal (to get a free t-shirt, you must read at least 10 hours during the program).
Step 2: Sign up at the library between May 20th and May 25th.
Step 3: Read. (You can read comics, books, magazines - anything that you want).
Step 4: Bring back your signed form with the total number of hours read by 1 p.m. on June 29th.
Step 5: If you've met your goal AND read at least 10 hours, collect your t-shirt at the library any time after August 2nd. Better yet, join us on August 2nd for our ice cream party at 2:00 and pick up your shirt then.
Dig into Reading is open to all children from birth to those entering 6th grade. Teens and tweens entering the 7th - 12th grade can sign up for the "Beneath the Surface" program.
You can find Summer Reading Enrollment forms english / spanish and media permission forms english / spanish online. Please fill them out and bring them to the children's desk the week of May 20th.
