Youth Services Newsletter

Summer 2013

This summer, turn your reading time into fun prizes at the public library! Stop by the library as soon as summer vacation begins and pick up a record to track the time you spend reading. You can earn 2

prizes of your choice every week! Prize choices include small toys, candy, coupons and more. In addition to the 2 prizes you choose each week, you can also earn coupons for things like Pizza Hut

pizza or free entry to fun places and events like the Dane County Fair or a Wisconsin Historical Site, just for reading the things you want to read! Everyone who completes a full reading log will be

named a Reading Champion and will get to star in their own READ poster! Reading Champions will

also be entered in an End-of-Summer prize drawing for the chance to win grand prizes! .

Remember, library programs are free!
