Tails & Tales – Teen/Tween Summer Reading Program

June 10, 2021 | See all Announcements

Monday, June 21 – Saturday, July 31
Middle School – High School

Get ready to trek through the jungle with the Tails and Tales Summer Reading Program. This program designed specifically for teens and tweens will make you want to read as fast as a cheetah!
Teens and tweens will read books and complete challenges to enter the Animaltastic Grand Prize drawings – four books and one challenge a week is all it takes to be eligible for the Animaltastic Grand Prize Drawing and the Grand Prize Picks. Sign up at the library anytime during the week of June 21-26 and you will get a prize! We will have a sign-up table in the library, but you can also sign up through our curbside window. Sign-ups will continue through July 10.

Once you reach your reading goal, bring in your finisher slips to pick up a bag filled with a book, prizes, and coupons. Then you can enter to hopefully win one of our grand prizes! Finisher bags will be available for pick up beginning the week of July 12.
