Summer Reading 2011

June 1 - August 15

at your local Stanislaus County Library branch

Kids earn prizes for reading!

How Summer Reading works:

• Kids from birth to 6th grade can get a reading log at any Stanislaus County Library branch.
• Use the reading log to keep track of every DAY that they spend at least 20 minutes reading, or having someone read to them.
• After 7 days of reading, kids can bring their reading log (signed by a parent) back to the library to collect a prize.
• Any child who finishes the whole reading log (28 days of reading) will also receive a certificate of completion.
• Last day to pick up a reading log is Saturday, July 30.

Details:

• Any type of reading material counts:  books, magazines, comics, newspapers.
• Each day of reading counts, even if the days are not consecutive (a child does not need to read seven days in a row to earn a prize, he just needs to read seven days total).
• Kids can repeat the program once they have finished a 28-day reading log.
• Kids may set their own goals of how much time they will read each day, more than the 20-minute minimum.
