Summer Reading

Summer has always been a special time at libraries.  With the kids out of school we try our best to keep them reading during vacation to help them maintain their literacy skills.  That's why most libraries offer some sort of summer reading program - it's a way to add a little bit of fun while encouraging them to continue reading.  Our Summer Reading Clubs have started, and Devin and Kayla have a lot of fun activities planned for our children and teens. 

We also thought that this summer we would give adults a chance to have bit of fun while reading this summer, so we're offering a summer reading program for them as well. And because we know life doesn't always slow down for adults during the summer, we've made it as simple as possible.  Here's what you do:

• The next time you're in the library, stop by the check-out desk and pick up a "Between the Covers" Reading Log. 
• Take it home, read 5 books between now and August 16th, and record the titles and authors on the log, along with a rating of 1 to 5 stars. 
•  Return the log to the library, and you'll be entered into a drawing to be held at the end of the summer. 
• Prizes include gift cards from Maine Diner, Mike's Clam Shack, Joshua's, and more.
• Only one entry per person, please.

As reading logs are returned, we'll create a list of the summer's 5 star books.

Don't know what to read?  Check out one of the Suggested Reading Lists at the library, visit one of the sites listed  on our website, check out one of the Summer Reading lists here, or as always, ask a librarian.

Have a great summer, and we'll see you at the library.
