You might think that summer reading programs are just for kids, but here at the library it’s for everyone!
Adults and teens in 9th grade and up can play our Reading BINGO game starting on June 20. Once you complete a BINGO you can enter a raffle to win a brand-new Kindle! You can get the instructions and download a BINGO board by clicking here. Or stop by the Library to pick up a form.
Our Children’s Summer Reading Program is hosted on an online platform called ReadSquared. You can register digitally, log your reading minutes, and save up your points for awesome prizes. Take a look at our YouTube video of how to complete the registration. If in person is more your speed, stop by the reference desk and a librarian can get you all signed up.
Summer Reading ends August 15th with our final wrap up party!
If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to talk about a really awesome book you read, please reach out to us at library@pelhamlibrary.org or call 914-738-1234. Librarians are also always at the reference desk ready to help with the process and can always recommend a good book.
