Whatever you read this summer—books, comics, magazines, audio books, or reading to someone else—it’s the time spent reading that counts.  Open to all teens going into 7th to 12th grades.

Sign up today here! You can sign up any time, but you can start tracking your time starting on June 22nd.

Log your hours online any time, and join the Facebook group to participate all summer long, no matter where you are.

Here’s how it works:
Sign up in the library or online, and you’ll automatically be entered into our big finale raffle. All you have to do is read! The more you read, the more chances you get.
Every two hours you read = 1 chance
Every 100-word title review = 2 chances

Every event you attend = 3 chances

Grand prize this year is a Barnes and Noble nook e-reader!

We’ll have special events every month over the summer.  Stay tuned for a BIG announcement for a special author visit in August!
