It appears as though in a blink of an eye it’s almost time
once again to register for summer reading!
Starting on June 1st, school aged youth can register to win
prizes and start signing up for popular and awesome events before we are ‘SOLD
OUT’. Sign up earlier for more time to enter our raffles!
Registration is rolling throughout June and July so anytime
you stop in your child or teen can get started.
Registration is in person only and literally will take only a few
minutes or less.
“Libraries Rock’ is the summer reading theme, and registration
is open to Atkinson youth entering kindergarten to age 19 (as of Fall 2018).
Events will be open to all, but we prefer you sign up at your home library for
general registration.
Once you are registered, all you have to do is visit the
library and check something out to earn a participation ticket for a raffle jar
of your choice. Be sure that your legible name and phone number is on the
ticket.
Hint --à You can
scan your library card into your smartphone or iPod in the Keyring app so you
always have it available to check items out.
Drop your ticket in one of the raffle jars near the main desk (grades
6-12) or the children’s room desk (grades K-5) to be eligible for random prize
drawings held weekly. Additional tickets
(which means more chances to win!) will be given to any tweens or teens that
register and participate in any of our events.
Prizes may include
snacks, books, toys, gift cards, Water Country & Canobie Lake passes and
more! You do not need to be present to win. T/weens have mostly gift cards or
events as prizes whereas the littles have toy and event options options. Prizes
will be drawn randomly throughout the summer after the kick-off (June 20) up
until August 1st.
Show that kids and teens ROCK by being part of the library
community! Register, participate in
events, and read! *All events have a required registration. Sign up ASAP to avoid disappointment.*
