Make Waves @ Your Library
Welcome to the
Teen Summer Reading Program
@ the Watsonville Public Library!
The Summer Reading Program runs from June 7th - July 16th.
The last day to turn in book reviews for raffle tickets is July 16th, 2010 at 3:00pm.
The final raffle will be held on Friday, July 16th at 5:00pm.
The Teen Summer Reading Desk is located at the reference desk at the Freedom Branch,
and on the 2nd floor of the Main Library at the information desk right outside of the teen room.
The Teen Summer Reading Desk is open the same hours that each library is open.
This is how the program works:
There is no reading log.
Instead, you earn tickets for the raffle by doing different things.
You can earn tickets by:
- Writing a Book Review (for books at your own reading level)
- Doing an activity sheet (there will be different ones)
- Attending Teen Programs at the library (schedule below)
Once you have finished an activity sheet, or have written a book review, take it to the appropriate desk at whichever library you choose to go to.
The person there will exchange your book review or activity sheet for 1 raffle ticket.
Write your full name (first and last) and your phone number on the back of the raffle ticket. The librarian will then add the ticket to the raffle ticket container to be saved until July 16th.
The grand prize is an Ipod!
(must be present to win)
The raffle will be held on Friday, July 16th
at 5:00pm
in the Main Library Meeting Room at the end of our Cosplay Party.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Eva Nottage (enottage at ci.watsonville.ca.us) at 768-3400.
