Week five has begun, so congratulations to all of those dedicated summer readers (infant-students entering 5th grade) who can now come into their branch and select a brand-new book for their remarkable efforts this summer.
This year’s Prince William Public Library System Explore Summer Reading program has been amazing with huge attendance at summer programs and many committed readers.
For kids and parents of little ones, don’t fret if you haven’t quite yet collected five stamps. We still have four more weeks left to go, so stay with it and a brand-new book (supported by Bookworm Central) will be yours to take home.
And remember that every stamp, no matter how many you get, is an entry into the Explore Summer Reading’s grand prize drawing for a laptop.
Teens, be sure to stay vigilant these next few weeks, especially as we get closer to the end of summer reading. Keep writing more reviews for extra entries into your branch’s Teen Explore Summer Reading grand prize drawings.
NOW ANNOUNCING BONUS WEEKS!
Have you missed a couple of weeks, been on vacation or are new to the area? Kids and teens can earn up to two Bonus Stamps starting Week 6 (July 25).
Two ways to earn a Bonus Stamp:
- Show us your reading log
- Tell us how you completed a history, nature, or art activity this summer
That is it. Starting July 25, kids and teens can come in and make up two extra bonus stamps. This way kids can still have a chance to earn a brand new book with only four more weeks to go, and kids plus teens can collect more entries into our branch/system prize drawings.
Here at the library, we would also like to let you know that in addition to our amazing list of programs and summer fun, many of our locations are Pokémon Stops. Additionally, our Chinn Park and Bull Run Regional Libraries are Pokémon Gyms. Hatch your eggs, find Pokéballs, and challenge willing participants in a safe and fun environment!
Thanks again to our greater Prince William community for making this another amazing summer with lots of more fun yet to come. Please visit any of our branches with any questions you might have or visit www.pwcgov.org/summerreading.
