Children, teens and adults, too, can have fun and earn rewards while keeping their reading skills sharp with no-fee summer reading programs at the White Salmon Valley Community Library.
The adult summer reading program has been added this year in response to popular demand.
Summer reading programs run June 1 through the end of August, with sign-ups ending Aug. 15.
There are no fees attached for participating in the library’s activities, events or reading program rewards.
The 2015 Summer Reading programs for kids and teens have a heroic theme: “Every Hero Has a Story” for young children 0-5 years and children 6-11 years; and “Unmask!” for teens 12-19 years.
Continuing the program format introduced in 2014, sign-ups and reading logs are online through a web page link at www.fvrl.org. Participants can sign up in the library or remotely on the website via personal computers, tablets or smartphones.
After spending time reading titles of their choice, participants log into their accounts, record their reading time, and progress through three prize levels. For finishing each level, youth participants can choose from a number of prizes, including books, ear buds, temporary tattoos, bags, comics, and more. Each level completed also earns participants entries in the district-wide grand-prize drawing in each of the three youth age categories. Grand-prize winners will receive a $200 Amazon gift card.
Adults earn entries into branch prize drawings for $25 Barnes & Noble gift cards for every four books they read.
In addition to earning exciting prizes for reading, don’t forget to join us for our weekly events, all in the Library’s Spring/Baker Gallery except where noted. Here’s the line-up:
