Go Green! 2010 Summer Reading Program!

Keep track of your reading this summer and earn prizes for the books you read and record in your summer reading log.

Summer Readers (grades one through six) keep track of either the books they read OR the time spent reading. Sign up here...

Young Readers (preschool through first grade) keep track of the books read with their parents, siblings or other friends. Sign up here...

Enter the title and author of each books read, as well as a short review. Count up the books (or time) and earn prize points! You can spend your prize points as soon as you get them, or accumulate some for larger prizes. You must come to the library to pick up your prizes.

The program starts Tuesday, June 15th, and continues through Sunday, August 22nd. All reading must be entered by the August 22nd DEADLINE.
