Do you like a challenge?
Is there a book you have been meaning to read?
Do you like to win prizes?
What if you could do all of these things at once? Sure, you might say, the library has a Summer Reading program for kids, but what can adults do? Good news! BAPL doesn’t limit the summer fun to young people. There are exciting programs, great books, and fun prizes for adults this summer.
You can pick up a Summer Reading Challenge Chart at the Main Library, Bookmobile, or Coolidge Branch, or you can print one yourself. The Summer Reading theme is “All Together Now/ Todos Juntos Ahora” and the chart suggests a variety of ways to get involved with the library, including reading suggestions, exploring library services, and participating in library programs. The more challenges you do, the more raffle tickets you can earn for our fabulous Summer Reading prizes.
The challenges are easy and diverse. When you have completed five of them, bring your chart to the Reference Desk at the Main Library. You will receive a small starter prize and your first raffle ticket! After that, you can earn a raffle ticket for every three challenges you complete.
The raffle prize baskets include:
The Get Growing Raffle Basket, which includes a $25 gift card for the Pharo Garden Center, gardening tools and gloves, and an incense holder with cones.
The Kitchen Creations Raffle Basket, which includes a $25 gift card for Azar Supermarket, a soft cooler, mugs, coasters, and several attractive cooking aides.
The On the Road Raffle Basket, which includes a $25 Wawa gift card, a BAPL tote bag, water bottles, and travel accessories such as an RFID wallet, a book light, and headrest hooks.
All raffle baskets also include a voucher for our popular BAPL Book Sale
The Summer Reading program continues until August 19. Be sure to get your raffle tickets soon!
