THE PAGETURNER


JULY 2024

Adult Summer Reading Challenge

READING: Pick up entry packets at the front desk, beside the jar, or online. Fill out a small form for each book/magazine or audiobook you read or listened to and drop it into the big clear jar in the library. Our SRP program can also be done entirely online! Every week we will draw from all the titles read the previous week for a chance of winning a gift card. All entries will be entered into a drawing for a grand prize.

PLAY BINGO!: To win, make a Bingo on the sheet provided in order to be entered into a drawing to win a special gift basket!
Join the fun by July 26! Bingo cards, reading entry forms, and the link to the online reading program can be picked up in the library or found on our website.
