Our Goal: 10 books per reader

Our goal this year is to get everyone to read 10 books! Whether it’s being read to or reading them yourself, we just want you to read and have some fun. 


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Will 10 books get me?
A: 10 books will get you your reading certificate, a prize, and a second entry into a raffle at the end of the Summer. For every 10 books you read, you’ll earn another entry into the raffle.

Q: Do I have to wait until the Summer Reading Program is over to turn in my Reading Log?
A: Nope! Our wait period is 2 Days. After that, you can turn it in whenever you want to.

Q: But I want to read more than 10 books! Can I do that?
A: Go for it! We love having people who read more than the necessary goal. Please let us know if you need another reading log.

Q: Do I have to be registered to come to your programs?
A: Most of our programming will likely be online this year due to current social distancing guidelines. Please check us out on Facebook for programming throughout the Summer! 

Q: I registered online how do I get my prize?
A: Contact us at the library closest to you for your prize.
