School's out...Have you signed up for summer reading?

School is out and the summer reading program at the library is off to a great start!  However, we would like to encourage you to sign up your child for summer reading if you haven't already!  Children from birth through those entering into 5th grade are eligible to participate.  Even if your youngster is not reading on their own, they can have someone read to them.

Children can read 20 books or for 20 hours (or have someone read to them).  Just stop by the children's room to sign up.  Plus get the following goodies for registering:

• Glow-in-the-dark summer reading pencil
• "Dream Big Read" bookmark
• Form to send away for free Timbers Tickets for a home game on Sunday August 26th
• Form to earn 2 FREE rides at the Washington County Fair (July 26-29)
• Entry form to win a $1,000 college savings account through the Oregon College Savings Plan, plus $500 for the library

Registration ends on July 31st.  If your child has read or has been read to since June 1st, they can count those minutes/hours/books on their reading record. 

Children may return their reading records to the children's desk between July 15th and August 31st to claim their prizes, including a new book of their choice to keep and a discounted coupon to Oaks Park!
