Summer Reading Program
Catch the Reading Bug!
How does Summer Reading Work?
Pick up a Catch the Reading Bug Summer Reading Entry Sheet at the Salmon Public Library. Starting when you register, keep track of the time you spend reading books. Complete and return your Summer Reading Entry Sheet to the library by July 31 to earn prizes and to be entered in prize drawings.
Prizes must be picked up before August 15, 2008. Entries received after July 31 will not be eligible for prize drawings.
REGISTRATION
Register from June 16 through June 20 at the Salmon Public Library. Have your child determine how many books or minutes he or she will read during the program and sign a contract with the librarian for that amount. Children will receive a logbook to record the titles of the books they read this summer and "bug coupons" on which to write the child's name and book title for each completed book. These will be displayed around the library for all to see! Bring in the reading log when you check out books and the librarians will stamp the completed titles in the logbook.
PRIZES
We'll be offering a variety of giveaways, contests and programs this summer! For example, 100 minutes of reading may win bookmarks, buttons, stickers, 250 minutes may win small novelty toys and items, for 500 minutes you may have a coupon for an ice cream cone, and for 750 minutes you may receive a swimming pool pass or an Art-in-the-Park coupon. Fulfill your reading contract and be entered in a drawing for books and gift certificates!
Achievement awards or certificates will be given to children completing their reading contract.
The more time spent reading, the greater the chance to win!
Prizes are subject to availability; substitutions may be necessary. Sponsor's rules and limits apply.
There will be special programs advertised as dates are confirmed, so watch for posters and newspaper ads!
