Abington
Free Library
Summer Reading
Program 2006
Welcome to our Summer Reading Club!
Children of ALL ages may participate by reading independently, reading with others, or being read to by a friend or family member. Children read for at least 20 minutes a day and record the titles in a log.
Bring your children in to register starting June 15. (Those who have signed up through school do not have to re-register). Each child will receive a reading log, a coupon for a free Rita’s water ice, and a place on our recognition wall.
All children must be Abington Township residents.
Children will receive a free sticker or stamp at the library for every book read. Books on tape/CD, graphic novels and magazines also count towards summer reading.
Abington Free Library registrants will receive a time log that is redeemable for prizes upon completion of 5, 10 and 15 hours of reading (while supplies last).
Reading logs may be turned in to Abington Free Library or Roslyn Branch Library any time between August 14 and September 9. Every child who turns in a log will receive a free book.
The library is open
10 a.m.-9 p.m.,
Monday-Friday;
10 a.m.-5 p.m.
on Saturday, and
2-5 p.m. on Sunday.
The library will be closed on Sundays in August.
All library programs are FREE.
Reading is a priceless, lifelong gift. Help your children maintain the skills they’ve mastered this school year by encouraging them to join our Summer Reading Club.
