Summer Reading Fun Prizes
|
|
We built a better world at the library with Summer Reading Fun! In addition to patrons tracking their books read, we offered about 350 programs throughout the summer for children, teens, and adults. Don't forget that children and teens who meet their reading goals have until Saturday, August 5 to receive their prizes, including a free book donated by the FCPL Friends & Advocates. In addition, all Summer Reading Fun participants who reach their reading goals will be entered in grand prize raffle drawings:
- Stars and Strikes Family Fun Pack Basket for readers up to grade 5
- AMC Movie Gift Card Basket for readers in grades 6 - 12
- Apple iPad mini for adult readers
The grand prize winners will be randomly selected the week of August 6 and winners will be notified at that time. Grand prizes are donated by the FCPL Friends & Advocates and Stars and Strikes Family Entertainment Center. Many thanks to our sponsors!
