How the Program Works
Children (0 to 11)
- For every 10 books that a participant reads, they will receive a small prize and a raffle ticket for the grand prize.
- As participants bring in their completed Summer Reading Program trifold, staff will “stamp” their paper when they have been given a prize and a ticket.
- Parents and/or caregivers MUST initial by their child’s completed number of books in order for them to receive their prize and ticket.
Teens (12 to 18) & Adults (19+)
- For every 5 books that a participant reads, they get a chance to win their appropriate grand prize.
- Participants will fill out the form with their name, phone number, and the names of the books that they’ve read and/or listened to.
- Once that information is complete, the participant can drop it in the appropriate grand prize bucket!
