Summer Reading is in Full Swing: Time to Pick Up Your Prizes!

Earn points and claim prizes!

Get rewarded this summer when you log reading minutes and participate in library activities and events. Each minute of reading logged in READsquared is worth one point, activities are worth 20-40 points, attending an event is worth 50 points! For every 200 points earned, you can choose a prize from LPTL's online prize store in READsquared. Prize choices include color-changing cups, lip balm, water bottles, and much more!

When you reach the 500-point milestone, you can claim a coupon for a free Happy Meal. When you reach the 750-point milestone, you earn a free personal pizza or tossed salad from Benito’s Pizza South Lyon. The final goal is to reach 1000 points and earn your very own Summer Reading Champion t-shirt!

These prizes and more can be yours this summer when you participate in LTPL's Ocean of Possibilities Summer Reading Challenge!

To choose your prizes and have them prepared for pick-up, log on to READsquared, check out the prize store, and "buy" your chosen prizes with the points you've earned from reading and participating in summer reading activities and events. Your prizes will be prepared for pick up once each week on Thursday evenings and made available to pick up inside the library on Friday mornings by 11 am. That means that if you've claimed any prizes before this Thursday, evening, your prizes will be ready to pick up today, July 1st!

Update on New Library/Park Project

LTPL and Lyon Township are in the final stages of planning a new Library/Park!

On Monday, June 20 the Lyon Township Board of Trustees and the Lyon Township Public Library Board of Trustees had a Special Meeting as a workshop to discuss the joint new Library and Township Park project which has been in development the past several months. Now LTPL and the Township are in the final stages of realizing this new library and Township Park project.

The final Library/Park project plan was approved by the Lyon Township Public Library Board at their last board meeting on Tuesday, June 28. The Township Board will be voting to approve the project at their next meeting on Tuesday, July 5 at 7pm. With financial commitments from both boards, the Library Board will be able to move forward with ballot language for the November 8 election for a library construction project.

Agenda and packet information for the Township's, July 5 meeting is posted here.
