The Tualatin Public Library Virtual Summer Reading Program started on June 1st and will continue through at least August 31st. You can download reading logs from the summer reading page on the library's website. You don't have to "sign-up" for the program this year. Instead, you'll let the library know when you complete your reading log. The Summer Reading Program is open to kids, teens, and adults. On completion, kids and teens are eligible to receive two free books while adults will receive one book. All finishers are entered in a grand prize drawing. Traditionally, the library has asked every reader to complete an individual log. This year they're offering options. You can read and complete the reading log as a family, or use it any way you want to. They just want to encourage everyone to read. The Summer Reading Program offers significant benefits to readers: Encourages reading as a lifelong habitDraws reluctant readers in with activitiesHelps kids keep their reading skills up over the summer For details about Summer Reading Program and events, check the library website.
