Open to area teens entering grades 6th through 12 (as of Fall 2009).
Register online or at the 1st floor Information Desk to receive your packet of reading tickets and other goodies, including a $1 Reading Bucks coupon. Use it to pay down your fine or put it towards a purchase at the Friends of the Library used booksale.
How it works: For each 20 minutes you read, check off a box on your reading ticket. There is no required amount of reading and you can include comics, magazines, blogs, novels, books on CD - it all counts!
When the ticket is full, submit it online or drop it all at the 1st floor Information Desk to be eligible for random prize drawings held every Friday. Prizes include snacks, books, music CDs and more!
