Teen Summer Reading Program 2013
June 3 - August 2, 2013
Teens grades 6-12 are invited to sign up starting June 3. It's pretty simple: read books, bring them to the library, earn points to win prizes, get library fines forgiven and go to the pizza party.
To earn points between June 1 and July 31:
- 1 point for volunteering at the library or reading aloud to someone
- 1 point for manga graphic novels
- 2 points for reading a book under 201 pages
- 3 points for reading a book 201 pages to 300
- 4 points for reading a book 301 pages or more
Each time you earn a point, stop by the library and let the librarian know what you’ve read or what task you’ve completed. The librarian will tally your points and enter you in the weekly drawing. Fill out a drawing card for each point you’ve earned that week. Three names will be drawn every Friday afternoon for eight weeks. You can only win the weekly drawing twice, but the last week all the entries from the whole summer will be placed in a drawing for our grand prize and 1st prize. When you’ve earned 20 points, you get a free book and your library overdue fines forgiven forever. - plus you'll be invited to the pizza party at the beginning of August!
