Library Summer Reading Program welcomes readers
LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lake County Library invites residents to go on a journey with the 2018 Summer Reading Program, “Reading Takes You Everywhere.” The program is open to all ages, so everyone can join in the fun.
So far more than 250 people have signed up, and some of these intrepid readers have already logged more than 1000 points.
There is still plenty of time to sign up any time all four Lake County Library branches during the program which ends July 28.
Once you sign up you can keep track of your reading progress when you return your books to the library. There are three programs, each targeting a different age group from kids to adults.
The Lake County Library kids program is recommended for children ages from newborn to 14.
When you sign up at your local library you can pick up a reading log and start reading library books. When you return library books to the front desk, the library staff will log your page count.
For every page you read you get a reading point. For every 50 points you get a sticker for your reading log. At end of the program in August, there will be a party for the children who participate.
Tweens and teens ages 11 to 18 can sign up for the Teen program. Visit the library desk when you return books to get reading credit. For every 200 pages you read, you will be entered in a grand prize drawing. There will also be a variety of events for teens over the summer at the library.
The Lake County Library has a summer reading program for adults. It’s a fun way to challenge yourself to read more this summer.Just like the Teen program, for every 200 pages you read, you will be entered in a grand prize drawing.
For each of these programs, if you read at least 1,000 pages the Friends of the Library will donate a book to the library with your name inside to commemorate your reading achievement.
The Lake County Library Summer Reading Program is supported in part by the Friends of the Lake County Library and Friends of Middletown Library.
