Did you know that the Summer Program is for all ages - Kids, Teens, and Adults?

There are lots of events for the various age groups, all year round, plus, in the summer everyone can earn reading points for a chance to win prizes. Here’s how the summer reading program works (and you can pick up a Summer Program Brochure at the library for even more details):


Earn Points and Tickets:   

 Points = Tickets

The more points you earn, the more tickets you get for a chance to win a prize basket!

 

1 Log the number of minutes you read to earn points. 1 minute = 1 point.

 

2. Complete challenges to earn up to 30 points!

 

3. Complete levels to earn tickets and e-badges. See how many e-badges you can collect! Reach each new level by earning 120 points.

 

4. Another way you can earn tickets is by attending library programs.

 

5. Pick up your tickets at the library & take a look at the prize baskets for your age category. Enter tickets for a chance to win!
