LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Library's annual Summer Reading Challenge begins Saturday, June 4. This year the theme is to “Read beyond the Beaten Path.”
By signing up for summer reading with the library, children, teens and adults can win various prizes, including stickers, small toys, a Kindle Fire tablet or local business gift cards.
Participating in the library program is a great way for everyone to challenge themselves to read more.
For students, reading over summer break can prevent learning loss and help them start the next school year out on the right page. Reading for fun is a great way to build vocabulary and literacy skills.
The library has programs for pre-K, kids, teens, and adults. Children who can't quite read on their own can still sign up and parents can record the books that they read together.
Starting on June 4 residents can register on the Library's summer reading website. Registration is open at any time until summer reading ends on Aug. 6.
Anyone who wants to sign up can head to the library website at http://library.lakecountyca.gov and click “Summer Reading.”
Residents can also sign up in person by visiting their local branch. On the first day of Summer Reading, Saturday, June 4, at 10 a.m., each library is hosting a Super Sign Up event with crafts and fun games.
Once registered, participants can start reading books and get points by logging their reading, either online or by visiting the library. All reading counts as long as it’s from the library, including eBooks, print books, audiobooks, magazines and comics.
The library offers prizes to make summer reading more fun. For adults and teens there will be a prize drawing at the end of the program. The more points participants earn the greater chance they have to win. The Friends of the Lake County Library, a community nonprofit membership organization, provides all the prizes.
Once participants read enough to earn 1,000 points the Friends of the Lake County Library will donate a book to the library in their name. The book will have their name inside commemorating their reading achievement and they will be the first person to check it out.
