SUMMER READING PROGRAM RULES

Children whose families spend time reading grow up to be avid readers. Our goal is to motivate you and every Lexington child to read on your own, and with your family, for at least fifteen minutes every day.

To make our 2009 Summer Reading program as non-competitive as possible, you will be rewarded for the amount of time you spend reading to yourself and others, or being read to, rather than for the number of books you have read. We'd like you and your family to read for enjoyment and for understanding this summer, rather than speed-reading, in order to finish numerous books.

You may read any books or magazines you choose. They do not have to be from the Library. Listening to books on tape or CD also counts, and so does reading aloud to a friend or family member, or listening to someone read to you.

Keep track of your reading time on a paper log or online at www.carylibrary.org. Every time you complete 600 minutes of reading (that’s 10 hours), you may choose a book or other prize. If you are recording your reading online, you will see a message when you are eligible for a prize. Come to the Children’s Room at Cary Library to choose your prize!

Heifer International "Read to Feed" Challenge

For every 10 hours you read, the Friends of Cary Memorial Library will donate 10¢ towards the purchase of a pig, a sheep, or flock of chicks, ducklings, and goslings for a needy family in a third world country.

TAKE THE READING CHALLENGE!

Children entering grades 4 and up are invited to Blast off with our Reading Challenge! Beginning Monday June 8, stop by Cary Library and pick up a Reading Challenge, or print one from our website at www.carylibrary.org
