Teen Summer Reading Program

Coming soon to a library near you!! We have a great program planned for this year. Here are the basics:

The program runs from June 1st to July 31st.  Each library will be hosting a variety of FREE fun programs including: chocolate tasting, rhythmic drumming, Breakbeat dancing, craft project to build a wind spinner or a dream catcher and book swaps.
 
How do I join?
Visit your local Jefferson County Public Library and ask to sign up for the Teen Summer Reading Program!
 
You will get a tally to keep track of your reading, great coupons and lots of information about fun summer events. Don’t forget to bring your tally to the library every time you visit to report your reading hours!

How does it work?
Read for 8 hours to complete the program and you get a free book on book award day (link this to EK) that you can keep forever! If you can't come on book award day, you have until the end of August to choose your book.
 
For every 8 hours you read, you can enter a drawing to win one of our 8 grand prizes at the end of the summer. Prize choices include a digital camera, Nano, or E-book reader.
 
What is the Summer Reading Challenge?
Read for 16 hours and you can enter a drawing to come to an after hours Games Night!
 
Read to help your community! If Jeffco teens read a total of 85,000 (or more!!) hours the teen librarians will volunteer at the Jeffco Action Center. 

Want to know more?  Stop in and visit with your local teen librarian.
