Summer Reading Club Signup Starts Tomorrow

Signup for our summer reading club, Bookwrecked, begins tomorrow, Friday June 23. Bring in your library card, sign up for the club, and receive a prize! Each week that you report on at least one book, you will receive another prize. For every book you report on, you receive one chance to win one of our grand prizes. The raffles will be drawn at our exclusive end of summer DJ party. You must be in the summer reading club to receive an invitation. Want to write book reviews to be shared with other teens? You can earn chances to win an additional prize. Come on in and sign up.

Our club kickoff event is being held on Tuesday, June 27, from 2-4 pm. Come on in, decorate a journal and have a snack. We have lots of good stuff planned for the summer - crafts, cooking, trips and more. Check it out in our newsletter or visit our on-line calendar at www.pmlib.org.
