Why should kids have all the fun? Join us for the Adult Summer Reading Challenge!

About the Adult Summer Reading Challenge

The Adult Summer Reading Challenge is a summer program encouraging adults to revisit the nostalgia of the summer reading clubs of their childhoods. The more books you read, the more chances you have to win great prizes! The program runs from June 18th to August 20th.

How to Participate

• Starting on June 18th, you can pick up your Bingo Card at any CEHPL location. Choose from the Read Easy or the Read Strong cards (feeling ambitious? Take both!)
• Complete four circles in a row. Once you have completed a line on your Bingo Card, you can bring your card back to a CEHPL branch to have your name entered into our Grand Prize draw.
• The more cards you fill, the more chances you have to win the Grand Prize!

Questions? Call your local branch today for more information.

TD Summer Reading Club – For kids ages 3-12

Our annual Summer Reading Club is designed to encourage children to keep reading and learning all summer long, so that they don’t lose the skills they learned during the school year. This year’s program runs from June 18 – August 20, and our theme is “In a Land Far Away.”

To get started, simply visit your local library or satellite location. Children will receive a registration kit with a reading log, bookmark, and more!

Kids, here’s how it works:

READ! Read anything you like and do it often!

Mark off a shape for every 20 minutes you read. For every 400 minutes you read (up to 1200 minutes), get a prize and a ballot for our grand prize draw!

GET ACTIVE AND PLAY! Complete activities on your own or with family and friends. You get a grand prize ballot and a game kit when you complete 5, then 10, activities!

CHECK IN WITH YOUR LIBRARY! Stop by to tell us what you’re reading, collect your prizes and ballots, and get more reading recommendations!

Be sure to check out the fun programs at your Library this summer!

GRAND PRIZE
