As you probably know, the library will be closing early tonight, and will remain closed through the weekend as we celebrate Independence Day. You probably also know that, about a month ago, we began our Summer Reading Program. Well, when we reopen on Tuesday (July 5th), we’ll start giving out prizes for those of you who have completed at least one section of your reading log—just four books gets you an FPL mug filled with coupons and prizes, as well as a raffle ticket for the Grand Prize drawings. (BTW: You don’t have to have the whole log filled out to start getting prizes, just the first section—you can bring it back to us again after each section).
Here’s what you need to do:
- If you haven’t already, grab a reading log.
- Read at least 4 books.
- Bring your log to either the 1st or 4th floor Ask Us desk.
That’s it! We’ll stamp your log to make it official, then give you your prize. The first set of four books gets you the mug and raffle ticket, and the second and third set of four books each get you another raffle ticket.
There are a couple other things that you can do after turning in your reading log if you’d like to. If you want your picture taken for the slideshow that will be shown during the Send-Off on August 7th, you can visit the picture table on the first floor. You can also fill out a Book Recommendation questionnaire to tell us about a book that you’ve read recently that you really liked—we’ll give you a $2 coupon that you can use towards an item in the Friends of the Library Book Nook. Both of these are totally optional, but fun!
Finally, if you’re wondering what kinds of things you can win in the Grand Prize drawings, here are a few pictures for you:
"Puzzler": A bag filled with mystery books, puzzles, goodies, and fun.
"By Candlelight": A bag filled with romance books, a candle, lotion, romantic items, and candy.
"Books and Bytes": A bag filled with informational books, a wireless mouse, and other goodies.
"Fantasy Sci-Fi Fun": A bag filled with fantasy and sci-fi books, games, goodies, and interesting stuff.
These are just the Grand Prizes—there are over thirty total prizes you can win, like dinners for two, baseball tickets, and movie passes…so get reading!
