Go Green @ Your Library
Go Green @ Your Library, this year’s summer reading
adventure, is coming to a library near you. Sign-up begins June 19 at
both libraries.
Pick up a packet when you sign up to learn more about:
- special programs for elementary-aged children on Wednesday
afternoons.
- our ever-popular guessing jar and trivia contests (with
prizes!).
- how to win a prize at the end of the summer as well as a
special t-shirt just for participating, and
- how to
keep track of your reading online if you’re spending
time away this summer.
This year, you’ll keep track of the amount of time spent
reading in July and August to get your name up on our wall of reading
fame – no special lists, no restrictions on what you read.
If you're going to be away this summer, keep track of the books you've read by visiting our
online book review website.
