It’s time for another summer of great reading and great prizes! This year’s program runs from Saturday, June 20 through Friday, August 14. Weekly prizes are drawn every Monday starting June 29, and the grand prizes will be drawn on Monday, August 17.
It’s easy to participate. The program is open to anyone ages 18 and up. Each adult or young adult book you read (audiobooks and e-books count, too) entitles you to enter your name for a drawing.* See the official rules here. You can earn additional drawing entries by participating in events at the library.
Click here to register for the program online, or visit the library to register in person. Paper entries will be available at the library, or you can submit your entry online beginning Monday, June 22. Optionally, add a review of what you’ve read and we’ll share it in our weekly summer reading e-newsletter.
*All prizes must be picked up from the library in person.
