Summer Reading

How to Participate:

1. Sign up and get a Reading Log. Signing up is easy! All we need is your first and last name. As long as you're over 18, we don't need to know your specific age. If you've got access to a printer, you can print a Reading Log beginning May 9 from our easy-to-use online sign-up portal, or you can pick up a Reading Log when you sign up in-person at one of our Public Library Branches beginning May 31.

2. Circle or mark one paint palette symbol on your Reading Log for each hour you spend reading or listening to someone else read. (Audiobooks count, too!) If you mark all 10 of the symbols on your Reading Log and would like another, you can request one at one of our Library Branch locations.

3. When you have completed the reading for all of the symbols on your Reading Log, fill out the reverse and turn it in at your local branch of the Public Library as your entry into a special prize drawing we'll hold at each branch for Adults at the end of the Summer Reading Program. Each turned-in Reading Log will also be eligible for the Branch's Weekly Prize Drawing! (One weekly winner per branch - Adults do not receive weekly incentive prizes like the kids do!)

4. Almost every type of visual or audio reading material counts! Exceptions: Texts, tweets, or other social media activity.
