CLUB
Book Buddies

Children of ALL ages may participate in Summer Reading Club 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.

 

Make a Splash - READ!

Children will receive a free sticker or stamp at the library for every book read.  Books on CD, graphic novels and magazines also count toward summer reading.

Bring your children in to register starting June 18.  (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 have Abington library cards.

Reading logs may be turned in to Abington Free Library or Roslyn Branch Library any time between August 9 and September 9.  Every child who turns in a log will receive a free book.

If you check out ten books or more you can fill out a raffle ticket to win a $25.00 gift certificate to George's Dreshertown Shop N' Bag! 
You may enter as often as you like.  Drawing will be held in September.

Roslyn Branch 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.
