Summer Reading isn’t over just yet!
Explore Summer Reading ends August 20, but the journey through reading lasts a lifetime. The fun isn’t over yet, though—you still have three weeks to earn stamps and attend exciting free performances, and kids can still earn a free book.
And if you’ve missed a couple of weeks, you can earn two Bonus Stamps! Just come in to any branch and either show us your reading log or tell us how you’ve completed an activity related to history, science, art, or nature. You can earn one Bonus Stamp per week plus your current week’s stamp.
Things you need to know about the end of Explore Summer Reading:
— The last day to earn stamps, submit adult summer reading tickets, or pick up a free book is Saturday, August 20.
— The kids’ and teens’ grand prize drawings will be held after August 20 and winners will be notified around August 29.
— The last day to pick up Weekly Challenge drawing prizes is close of business Friday, September 2.
— You may print your online Summer Reading logs until close of business Friday, September 30.
Finally, we’d like to hear from you! How can we make next year’s Explore Summer Reading even better? Please tell us by taking a quick survey at www.pwcgov.org/summerreading. Thanks again for making this another amazing Explore Summer Reading expedition.
