Children's Summer Reading Program 2011

One World, Many Stories

Rules:

• Each child will be given one Summer Reading Chart.  If you lose your chart, you must start over.  Please don't lose your chart!

• Make your own goal of how many minutes you will read each day and write the goal on the reading chart.

• Read books checked out from the Provo City Library. The number of books checked out helps us to monitor the success of our Summer Reading Program.

• Read six days a week.  You may read ahead or catch up if you get behind. You may read more than your reading goal, but you can only collect one set of prizes.

• Bring your half-completed Reading Chart to the library the week of June 27 - July 1 to receive a halfway prize.

• Bring your completed Reading Chart to the library July 18-July 28 to pick up your prizes!

• Collect a World Passport from the Children's Desk. Attend a Canopy Capers program or a Make and Take Crafts program and receive a sticker on your passport per session attended. Collect six stickers over an eight week period. From July 18 - 28, turn in your sticker-filled passport to receive a ticket to the World of Magic Show on July 30, 10:00 - 10:30 am in the Provo City Library Ballroom. As tickets are limited, they will be given out on a first come, first serve basis.

Prizes:

• Prizes for Summer Reading 2011 are a free book and a ticket to the End of Summer Reading Party!

End of Summer Reading Party:

• Thursday, July 28, 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm
• Exclusive pool party and treats at the Veterens Memorial Pool, 450 West 500 North, Provo, for children who complete the Summer Reading Program.

Provo City Library stresses the importance of a relaxed but consistent daily reading.  The goal is to establish a regular daily habit of reading.  There are no rules as to number of pages, numbers of books, or specific genres of books.  Simply read each day, six days a week at your own speed. Parents and older siblings can read to children as well.
