HOW DO I PLAY?

​

PROGRAMS: Each week during summer reading the library offers both in-person and at-your-own-pace programs for all ages. Programs are free to attend and include chances to win additional prizes. Check our Summer Reading Events for specific program dates and times. Please note: while almost all of our programing is available to patrons of any age, some programs have age restrictions.

​

READING SHEETS: If you are participating in either children's program (birth through Pre-K or Kindergarten through 5th grade), track the approximate amount of time you read during the summer. Each circle on your reading log counts for 15 minutes. If you are participating in our teen or adult program, you may choose to track the number of minutes you read and/or the number of books you read during the summer. Reading sheets are available in each summer reading sign up bag. If you need an additional sheet, download a copy below or ask during your next library visit.

SUBMITTING YOUR SUMMER READING MATERIAL

 

Each week during summer reading we encourage all participants to submit their weekly minutes read or total books read. Call us, email us, or drop by during library open hours and let us know

how much you've read that week!

​

All reading sheets and minute reporting must be received by August 4, 2022, to be eligible for prizes. Whether you have managed to read one book or 25, and whether you have read 10 minutes or over 20 hours, we encourage all summer reading participants to turn in their summer reading material. If you cannot submit your reading sheet or reading minutes during library open hours (please check our calendar for specific dates and times), write your name on your reading log and email us a picture to info@ndld.org or place your card in the library book drop.
