Get ready for a summer packed with books, fun, and unforgettable memories at the Garland County Library.
Our annual Summer Reading Program officially begins Saturday, May 30, with an exciting kickoff celebration full of games, hands-on activities, delicious treats, giveaways, and fun for the whole family. Come celebrate the start of an amazing summer with us at the library.
HOW THE SRP WORKS
Step 1: Beginning May 30, pick up a paper reading tracker from the Library or print one from www.gclibrary.com/srp.
Step 2: Set a daily reading goal. This can be anything – 10 minutes a day to 10 pages a day.
Step 3: Color a space for each day you meet your reading goal.
Step 4: Take the tracker to the Library to pick up a small prize and a ticket for every 10 days you read.
Step 5: Enter tickets in raffle boxes for a chance to win special prizes.
Step 6: Turn in completed trackers for an extra raffle ticket.
*The SRP ends on July 31. All prizes must be picked up by noon on Saturday, August 15.
