Relax and Read!

Summer reading for adults 18 and older
July 1 through August 17

Read a book or listen to an audiobook to enter the prize drawing. Each book equals 1 entry. Digital counts, too, so now’s a good time to use Libby and Hoopla!

Register for the program on READsquared starting June 1. You can log your reading progress from July 1 through August 17. You’ll do this through READsquared once you’ve set up your free account, but we promise that it’s easy, and we are happy to help you if needed. READsquared is also where you will select which prizes you’d like to try to win.

You may put your name in for as many prizes as you want to try for, for as many times as you have points available. Winning participants in the random drawing at the end of the Relax and Read program may only win 1 prize.


Adventure Begins at Your Library

Kids and teens (PreK through 12th grade)
July 1 through August 14

For every 20 minutes you read, you can enter your name into one of our raffle jars for the drawings at the End of Summer Reading Party. You can also select a small prize each time you come to the library to fill out your raffle tickets!
