SIGN UP AT THE LIBRARY JUNE 20-JULY 2
Join us for our Ocean of Possibilities Summer Reading Program for Readers of all ages. This year, participants will be divided into three groups: Seahorses, turtles, and starfish. From there on out, contestants will be beginning to read as much as possible for different prizes. Just by signing up, the reader is entered into a lottery to Gibson's Bookstore worth $25, $50, and $100! 
​The first 75 participants under 18 to read ten books will receive a free pass to Altitude Trampoline Park in Concord!
Summer Reading Challenge
​
​On Tuesday, July 12th, the teams will be revealed. On the same day, the winners of the three Gibson's Bookstore gift cards will be announced and readers can begin to log their books. By reading as much as you can throughout the program, you can help your team win the Summer Reading Challenge! Between June 21 and August 2, keep track of how many books you read. 
Everyone can participate in this fun program, from one child to entire families or a single adult
The goal is to get everyone to participate, to read, read, read and expand their minds. The program will engage you and challenge you to keep your mind learning. Use "Ocean of Possibilities" to keep learners on track. There's more than reading to do.
