Friends support summer reading

The Friends are happy to announce our support of the Tualatin Public Library’s 2021 summer reading program. This year we’re contributing in three areas:

  1. Summer reading grand prizes — a LEGO treehouse kit and a gift certificate for a glassblowing class for two at the Live Love Glass studio.
  2. Prizes for the Tualatin’s Got Talent kids’ talent show on July 29th.
  3. Music programs — a concert by the Three for Silver trio on July 1st and a series of three concerts in August by the Willamette Valley Chamber Music Festival.

Check out the library’s calendar for a full list of fun summer reading activities.

2020 Summer Reading is virtual this year

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 habit
  • Draws reluctant readers in with activities
  • Helps kids keep their reading skills up over the summer

For details about Summer Reading Program and events, check the library website.
