Summer Reading Program for Teens June 25 – August 6
Nothing makes us laugh as quickly, makes us gasp in horror so loudly, or draws us into a good story like a great graphic novel. From Charlie Brown to Spider Man to Naruto, some of America’s best-loved (and most hated!) characters have come from this celebrated source of literary and artistic storytelling. As a tribute to these greats, this summer’s Teen Summer Reading Challenge is dedicated to exploring graphic novels: Get Drawn In @ Your Library Encourages teens to “read outside the box” while supporting the theme for this summer’s library programs and the summer reading challenge for teens in Windsor. Throughout the website, you’ll find a lot of different events that might draw you into the library: an afternoon activity for artists; an evening event for late-night readers; even a reality show relay race! Check out what we have to offer and join us for some great summer events!
Teens: Let the library draw you into its summer reading program. As part of the program, you will earn points by reading, participating in library programs, and completing a “bonus bingo” card. For every 10 points you earn between the dates of June 25th and August 6th, you will receive a small prize and your name will be entered in the grand prize drawing (to be held at the Reality Show Blitz party on August 6th). How do I earn points?
Define “Reading…” Technically, reading is “to learn from what one has seen or found in writing or printing” (according to Webster’s dictionary, at least)[1]. For the purpose of the 2008 summer reading program, the following things can be counted as “reading”:
How will we keep track of everything? Reading Logs will be available for teens to use to keep track of their reading and their points. Extra pages for your reading logs will be available throughout the library, including in the lobby, at the reference desk, and in the Teen Zone. On the reading logs, students will be asked to name the title, author, and time spent reading. How do I fill out the Reading Log? Here’s a sample so you can get the idea…
How do I get prizes? Every time you earn 10 points, stop by the library with your reading log and talk to the librarians at the downstairs Reference Desk to get your prize and add your name to the grand prize drawing. If you choose, you can also use your 10 points to donate $1.00 to Heifer International and make your time spent reading even more valuable by helping others (details about this organization are available in Kidspace). If you have any questions on how to fill out the log, please ask Amy McCue (Teen Librarian) or anyone else sitting at the Reference Desk. Anything else I need to know? Not that we can think of, but if something is unclear, or you have a suggestion on how to improve the summer reading program for next year, please talk to Amy about it! Have a great time reading!
