Pre-Teen & Teen Summer Reading

Keep a reading log this summer! For every book you read, fill out a brief review sheet about it and turn it in to the Young Adult Librarian. For each review sheet you submit, you'll receive five raffle tickets that you can use to draw for fabulous prizes all summer long -- and our grand prizes at the end! Also, after you read and review five books, you can choose a free paperback book from our box. No registration is required.
