It’s closing in on ‘summertime, and the reading is easy!’ Kids entering kindergarten through grade 5 will want to rush down to Kimball Library on Friday, June 26 to register as that is the theme for the children. Just to tickle your fancy, we’ve got an opening program planned for Monday, June 29 from 5-7pm. Come for hot dogs, chips, drinks, and the best watermelon seed spitting contest around! It's sure to be fun!
The teens (youth entering grades 6-12) will be doing their own thing entitled “TR2” (Teens Read Too!) and they have a challenge before them. New this year is if they read an item that is MORE than 200 pages, they may enter 2 coupons for that same book. Remember, over 200 pages equals DOUBLE COUPONS. Also, extra tickets are being offered for teens who register and stay for any teen programs. For those teens who take extra effort to record online as well as turn in tickets, they will be able to win extra prizes. Basically, the more you read and the more you participate, the better your odds of winning prizes.
When each ticket(s) is completed, drop it off at the circulation desk to be eligible for random prize drawings held every day. Prizes may include snacks, books, music CDs, gift cards and more! You need not be present to win. And as to that challenge, if 50 teens register and read enough to get 500 tickets into the jar, the Teen Librarian (Kathy Watson) will highlight or slice her hair PURPLE. Get motivated and encourage your friends to register and read for TR2!
