- Prizes are given out with library check-out each week.
- Once your reader completes twenty (20) books, they’ll earn a personalized trophy!
Teen – Ages 13 – 18 (Sign up here)
Hey teens – do you listen to audiobooks? Read fanfic on blogs and Wattpad? Devour manga or graphic novels? Reading novels isn’t the only way to participate in the Teen Summer Reading program!
No matter how you read, register for the Teen Summer Reading Program so you can earn raffle tickets and win prizes!
You’ll receive three (3) raffle tickets *and* a FREE choice of book from our selection just for signing up.
- For every five (5) hours you log, you’ll receive raffle tickets to enter into our end-of-summer drawings.
- If you complete fifty (50) hours of reading, you’ll receive a $25 gift card to your favorite local business!
These drawings are for prize boxes from OwlCrate, each of which has yet ANOTHER free book (with an exclusive cover!) and awesome loot like artsy mugs, bookmarks, tote bags, and more!
Adult – Ages 18+ (Sign up here)
Summertime means a chance to explore new books and e-books, learn new skills, and check out resources through Summer Reading at the Rosenberg Library!
Register for the Adult Summer Reading Program and earn scratch tickets for instant prizes and raffle tickets for big-ticket items! Plus, get a summer reading book bag and three (3) raffle tickets just for registering.
- Each badge earns one (1) scratch ticket & one (1) raffle ticket for the end-of-summer drawings.
- The more raffle tickets you assign to a drawing, the better your chances are of winning! All drawings will be conducted after August 14th, 2021.
- Read fifty (50) hours before August 14th and earn a Henry Rosenberg coffee mug!
