Santa Cruz Public Library’s Summer Reading Program is back up and running again this year. Part of the way that the library gets funding for this is by proving active interest in it, i.e. kids signing up and doing it!
Signing up is easy: Either go to your branch or to the library website, and get your child a registration number. Then get a reading log at your branch and start to read! At the end of the program, your child turns in the log and gets dollars that can be spent at local stores.
Most of the stores accept two or three dollars. My kids like to go for the gold: Here’s an article I wrote about the owner of Atlantis Fantasyworld and why he allows kids to spend all 20 of their reading dollars in his store!
Your kids can also write book reviews on the library website. It’s pretty cool to see their name in lights on the official website after they write one.
So sign up and support your library. And have fun, too.
