What’s Happening @ the Library – June 2008

Faster, Higher, Stronger!

The Teen Summer Reading Game ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’ (which happens to be the Olympic motto) begins on June 23rd. The game, and all summer programs are for teens entering grades 6 – 12.

How the game works:

For every book, magazine, manga (or whatever) you read, you report your reading in one of three ways:     

1. Fill out a bookmark and drop it off at either library
2. Post a comment on this blog
3. Send an email to: nscherer@fplct.org.

Each report must list:

1. Your name, grade and some  way to contact you.
2. The book’s title and author.
3. The number of pages in the book.
4. And finally, a short (VERY SHORT PLEASE) summary of the story

There are no sign-ups or registration for the reading game. You just begin reporting your reading to us, and we keep track of everyone’s progress. And because you can report your reading online, you don’t even have to be in Fairfield over the summer to play – you can participate on vacation, from camp, or anywhere else, as long as you can get to the Internet.

Prizes:

Each week we draw one report for a $50 gift certificate to stores like Borders, FYE, Starbucks and GameStop.

Also, for every 100 pages you read, you earn a raffle ticket towards our grand prize drawing, which is held at our end-of-summer party. For more on earning tickets and prizes, read the Good Books – June 2008 post (right after this one!)
