How it works…
You must be 18 or over to participate.
Begin reading or listening to fiction or non-fiction the month of June. Sign up for the summer reading program at the Information Desk and get your first two reading forms and a little something extra to help water your mind.
For each book you finish, complete one entry form. You may fill out two entry forms for books 500 pages or longer. One or two sentence reviews are encouraged but not required. Extra copies of the entry form are available at the library or click on this link: Adult Summer Reading Program Prize Entry Form
Each completed form is eligible for weekly prize drawings. (One weekly prize per person.) All entries not drawn for the weekly prize will be eligible for the grand prize drawing. The more you read the better your chances are to win! Winners will be notified by phone or email.
Entries may be turned in at the library between June 7 and August 7, 2010. Weekly prize drawings are drawn Fridays beginning June 18th and a grand prize drawing on Monday, August 9th. Weekly winners select their prize at the Information Desk.
The book review portion of the entries will be posted in the library so that others can share your reading enjoyment. Participant names will NOT be posted with the reviews. In addition, you can also share your reviews on our GoodReads blog.
