For children birth to 5 yrs. old.

Come to the library this summer and help your children win prizes!
Read 5 books a week to your child so that they can be entered in
the weekly drawing held each Friday afternoon
(weeks run Saturday through Friday).
Record the number of books you read to your child in their folder at
the summer reading desk in Dorothy's Room by 12:00pm on Fridays.
You will then receive an entry form into that week's drawing.
ONE entry per week per child. If you miss a week you can still record your books,
but you will not receive an entry form for a missed week.
For your child to be entered in the 0-5 "Grand Prize Drawing", 
read a total of 30 books by the end of the program. ONE entry per child. 
There will also be contests and special "Fun Days" during the program.
