Charlton Library
Kids Summer Reading Program 2010
Registration begins on:
Monday, June 14th @ the library or online
Ending Date: Thursday, August 26th
Choose which way you want to read this summer:
By Title
Receive 1 raffle ticket or 1 small prize for every 5 books you read.
By Minutes
Receive 1 raffle ticket or 1 small prize for every 30 minutes you read.
(must choose only ONE method)
Remember:
It counts if someone else reads to you or if you listen to books on CD. Also, toddlers love to read the same books over an over - it's ok to put down the same title 10 times if you have read it 10 times!
Ages
We are not putting age or grade limits on the program this year - reading levels are different for everyone.
Have a brand new baby at home? Sign them up!
Raffle Tickets
Raffle tickets are for our "big ticket" items. Kids can decide whether they would like to enter their name to try to win these prizes (winners are announced at the end of the summer) or they can choose a small prize from our bin. The more you read, the more chances you get to win the raffle items!
Bonus!
When you register & log books or minutes online, you will receive
4 raffle tickets to start!
(receive 2 when you register at the library and use a paper log sheet)
