Teen Summer Reading Program
Goodwin Library - June 20th - July 30th - What is it all about? “YOU ARE HERE” is a FREE, 6 week drop-in summer reading program. We want to help keep teens connected to books during summer vacation and provide some fun summer activities as well. Library cards are not needed to participate in the summer reading program events. Library cards and computer use are free to all students with parent/guardian permission. You do need a card to check out any materials.
Who can participate? The “You Are Here” program is open to ages 12-18. Our program at Goodwin was designed with input from our Teen Advisory Board to ensure that we are providing activities that YOU want! Contact us for more info about being a member of TAB.
Do I come to the library every day? You can attend as little or as much as you like. Upon registering, you will receive a “Bingo Card” with suggested activities to complete, in order to win prizes at the end of the program. You will also receive a reading log to keep track of books read this summer. (See bonus incentive programs below)
