LAKEPORT >> Book lovers of all ages are invited to “Read for the Win” with the Lake County Library’s 2016 Summer Reading Program. For the first time ever, the library has opened the program to adults, so everyone can participate.
Sign-ups begin May 21 online and in person at all four library branches. The summer reading program website will go live on May 21. Go to the library website http://library.lakecountyca.gov and click on the “Read for the Win” logo to sign up or visit your local library branch. Once you sign up you can keep track of your reading progress online or when you return your books to the library. There are four programs for different age groups.
The program for “pre-readers” challenges parents and other family members to read together with their children who haven’t quite started to read yet.
The kids program is recommended for children ages from 5 to 12 who are independent readers. Kids can read books and earn stickers for their game cards. For kids who read 25 books or 1,000 pages The Friends of the Lake County Library will donate a book to the library with a special bookplate inside the book commemorating their achievement.
Teens age 13 to 18 can sign up to read books and earn entries for a grand prize drawing. There will also be a variety of events for teens over the summer at the library, including a writing workshop.
Adults are also invited this year to challenge themselves to read during the summer and earn entries for a grand prize.
The Lake County Library Summer Reading Program is supported in part by the Friends of the Lake County Library and Friends of Middletown Library. For more information contact the library at (707) 263-8817 or visit the library website at http://library.lakecountyca.gov
