Adult Summer Reading
The 2011 Adult Summer Reading Program will come to an end on Friday, August 27th. There will be a small reception at 12:00 noon with light refreshments. The final drawings will be held including the winner of the grand prize, a NOOK eReader. Throughout the summer, for every five books patrons read or listened to patrons could fill out an entry form and have a chance to win prizes in the bi-weekly drawings. The more patrons have read the better the chances to win great prizes.
