Are you tired yet? And that is just what is happening in June! Make sure to check back for July’s schedule. Unfortunately, that one is still slightly under construction.
Other Ways To Get Involved:
If events are not your thing, don’t worry! I still have ways for you to be involved in summer reading.
Kids: by filling out your reading log, you can earn prizes like books for your house and brag tags. As always, there will be $2 gift certificates to the Cunningham Pool Concessions given to those who participate.
Adults: For each book you read, fill out an entry form to win a gift card! We will have cards to Daydrinkers, Cozy’s, Rusty Rose, Taylor Schultz photography, Love’s, and Subway. We will also be trying out a Facebook book club. Don’t worry, it will be the low stress club of your dreams. “Read a book with a red cover.” “Take a picture while reading outside.” Each challenge completed gets you an entry into the gift card drawing.
Did I tell you I’m excited for summer reading? Because I am. I am so excited!! I absolutely love reading and have fond memories of summer reading programs growing up. We may have different taste in books, but I will always be interested in hearing about the books that excite you! Come in and tell me YOUR favorite summer reading memories. Or tell me about your favorite book!
