 Why should I sign up for the Summer Reading Program?
Summer is a time to have fun, and we want you to have fun reading! It's
a time to learn about new things and catch up on a favorite author. It's
also a good time to see what other things your library has to offer.
When does the program start and end?
The program begins Tuesday, June 1, but you can sign up any day after
that for the duration of the program. You can pick up your halfway prize
after June 24, and your final prize after July 15. The program is officially
over July 23.
What ages can participate?
The Summer Reading Program is open to all ages -- even adults can
participate. The Young Adult Summer Reading Program is open to those ages 12
to 18.
How do I sign up?
To sign up for the Summer Reading Program, go to the library of your choice and sign up in the Youth Services
Department. You will be given a folder where you'll record the books you
read over the summer. Halfway through your reading goal, you'll receive cool
food coupons and other goodies, just for reading. If you finish the program,
you'll also receive a grab bag of goodies.
To sign up for the Young Adult Summer Reading Program, go to the Linebaugh
or Smyrna Library and sign up in the Youth Services Department. Participants
will be given a booklet with a bingo card. Each time you complete a goal,
come back to the library to get your card stamped. Once you get 5 spaces
stamped (lined up in any direction), you can turn in your booklet to claim
your grab bag and you will be entered in our grand prize drawing. (At
Smyrna, participants can either complete a bingo card or can read and review
five books.) Grab bags
will be available after July 15; the grand prize drawing will be held on
July 23.
How many books do I have to read?
To get credit, read or listen to the required number of books (on your
reading level or above). Audiobooks, graphic novels, and e-books also count. No videos allowed.

 Will I need a library card?
Yes! A library card is your all-access pass to great books, audiotapes,
and books on CD that count toward your summer reading fun. There is no age
restriction to get a card, but if you're under 18 we will need your parent's
signature and identification showing your current address.
