summer reading

Summer  reading is different, even  as an adult  with a  full-time job.   Summer  is  the time to dig into really  long  books, or  read fun books  with no  thought of  self-improvement. Or it is  the time to read everything on your  new interest  ( like mexican  cooking,  the history  of  railroads  in  the  US, or  hang gliding) without being interrupted  by  other things someone else wants you to  read. And, if you  hang out at  the library, you  know  that  we like to reward  you for reading. 

Reading is so delicious!

This is our theme for  this  year’s game and  we  want  everyone to play, prereaders, kids, teen ,and adults ( yes , even  your  grandparents!). 

Here are  the basic  rules:

Sign up  and get a  reading log . Keep  track  of  every thirty minutes  you  read.  For every thirty  minutes , you  get to spin  and move one or two spaces on  the board ( everybody  gets to spin  this  year- and the wheels are  more  fun ) .   There are bonus  activities  you  can do to move along the board  faster.   There is a first prize – which is a book bag.   The final  prize is a  book  and … a  raffle  ticket.  This  year  there is a grand  prize  drawing for … something I  will tell you  about  later (I  can’t  tell you  everything right now,  what  would I  talk about  later?)

So  starting June 11th – come on in and sign  up.  And  make mon and  dad  join  you.
