2009 Summer Reading Program

June 8 through August 1

Events

Locations and Contacts

Reading Incentive Program:
Children can register and turn in weekly reading logs for surprising prizes.
Registration begins June 8 at all three branches for ages birth through 12.

Bicycle Drawing Update:
The Santa Fe Public Library is giving away six children’s bicycles this year as incentives for the Summer Reading Program. The drawings for the bikes have been expanded to include all children from birth to 12-years-old. Summer Reading Program participants will get one entry for every reading log they turn in, starting with log number 4. This means that if a child completes all 7 weekly reading logs, he or she will be entered 4 times into the drawing.

Each branch will give away one girl’s bike and one boy’s bike, along with helmets and bike locks. Winners will have the opportunity to exchange the bike and/or helmet for a different size if necessary. Drawings will be held at the end-of-the-summer party at each branch. Entrants need not be present to win.
