Summer Schedule June 6 - August 6, 2018 Activities | Reading challenges | Ages 0-12

Summer Reading Challenge www.roundrocktexas.gov/summerreading

Why read? Summertime reading is the best way to keep

reading skills strong while school is out.

Your library has great materials to share, and

friendly staff to help you discover and use it.

Make your reading count Do you like to earn incentives? Then join the

Summer Reading Challenge! Use our online

program to track your reading from June 6

to August 6. Remember, listening

also counts as reading.

Visit the Summer Reading table in

the Gallery to collect prizes

June 13 - August 6.

But I like paper reading logs Feel free to pick up a paper log for at-home

use. Help us keep library lines short by

updating your online record before you come

in to claim prizes.

Need help? Teen volunteers in the Gallery can answer

many questions and help you with online logs.

There’s an FAQ (frequently asked questions)

section on the summer reading website.

Friendly staff members are here to help you.

Who can participate? Everyone is welcome at RRPL. If you live in in

Texas, you can get a free library card, too.

In addition to the kids’ reading challenge for

ages 0 - 11, your library also has a summer

reading challenges for teens (ages 12-18) and

adults (ages 19+).

Please see the online library calendar to view

additional summer events for teens and adults.
