Summer Reading is Blazing with Lots of Readers this Year!
So far, this summer, almost 6,000 people have signed up for summer reading! We know that there are summer reading logs still taped to bedroom doors or clinging to the refrigerator, attached by alphabet magnets. Don’t forget to complete your log and bring it in to show us. We will congratulate you on a job well done, and want to hear what your favorite book was and, then we’ll let you pick out a book to keep (for kids and teens) or enter you into a prize drawing (for adults).
If you don’t have a log or didn’t get around to signing up this year there’s still time: sign up here on our website. You can also pick up a replacement book log at any of our library branches.
Why do we love summer reading?
That’s an easy question. Reading is a wonderful escape and a great way to spend time in the summer. It’s also a tactic for students to maintain their educational progress so they don’t participate in the “Summer Slide” and slide backwards academically during non-school time.
It’s also a great time for us to ramp up our special offerings in the libraries. We have craft activities at each branch every week (just drop in and take part), and lots of great classes and events for everyone. Check our calendar to find something that interests you.
