  • Contracts will be available at the circulation desk. Librarians will fill out the information and then the child will sign the contract, the contract stays at the library.The reading log will also stay at the library and for every book that you read you will be given a sticker to add to the reading log page. Contracts must be completed by Saturday July 29, 2023  to have your name put in for the grand prize drawing in your reading level.

 

  • There will be a BONUS / SPECIAL drawings this year – sign up for this every time you come to the library to check out books. We are planning on having some “Grab & Go craft activities” through out the summer that you take home and assemble.
