2008 Teen Summer
Reading Program

Metamorphosis @ Your Library is the theme for the Library's 2008 Teen Summer Reading Program for rising 6th - 12th graders.  The program runs from June 22 through August 2.  Online Registration begins Monday, June 16, at 10:00 a.m. at the Library's Summer Reading web site.  With their parent's permission, teens can register online at the Library's Summer Reading web site from any computer with an internet connection.

There are two ways to participate in the Teen Summer Reading Program.  Teens can read and review books, and they can participate in teen programs.  Book and Program reviews must be submitted via the summer reading web site.  Please note that only "Public" book and program reviews are eligible for the prize drawings.

Summer Reading Web Site:  Register at the Summer Reading Web Site by clicking on the "Sign Me Up" button.  This opens a new page where you are asked to provide your registration information.  Returning users enter your username and password to log in.  Choose the "Add/View Log" button to enter the book or program review information.
 

Metamorphosis @ Your Library
Teen Summer Reading Online Registration and Log-in

Book Review Criteria:  Using the online Summer Reading Log, write a book review of at least three (3) sentences.  Include the book title, author first and last name, genre (fiction or nonfiction), and rating.  Please note that only "Public" book reviews are eligible for the prize drawings.  Reviews that do not meet the program requirements or contain offensive language are not eligible for the prize drawings.

Program Participation Criteria:  Attend and sign-in at a teen summer reading program at the Library.  Using the online Summer Reading Log, write a one sentence review of the program.  Include the name of the program, program presenter, and rating.  Choose "Program" for the genre.  Information will be checked against the program sign-in sheets, so remember to sign-in.  Please note that only "Public" program reviews are eligible for the prize drawings. 

Prize Drawings:  Participants will receive one entry in the weekly prize drawings for each book you review in a given week and one entry for each program you attend and review each week.  For example, week 1 runs from June 22 through June 28.  During that week if you read one book and enter a book review at the Summer Reading web site, you will receive one entry in the prize drawing.  If you read and enter a book review and attend a program and enter a program review, you will receive two entries in the prize drawing and so on.

Random prize drawings for $10 gift cards will be held each week.  There will be five winners each week.  Weekly prize gift cards are:  Week 1, Target; Week 2, Barnes and Noble; Week 3, Starbucks; Week 4, Wawa; Week 5, Chick-fil-a; and Week 6, Regal Cinema.  Drawings will be held each Monday afternoon during the program.  Winners will be contacted by phone or email.  The first names of the winners will also be posted on the library web site.  Prize winners should pick up their gift cards at the Tabb Library Youth Services desk.

Participants can only win one weekly drawing during the program; however, the more books you read and programs you attend, the more entries you will have in the final grand prize drawing at the end of the program.  All non-winning weekly entries will be entered in the final grand prize drawing.  The three grand prizes are a $25 Best Buy gift card, a $25 iTunes gift card, and a $25 Panera Bread gift card.

All York County Public Library programs are free and open to everyone.  For more information, contact the Youth Services department at (757) 890-5110.  The summer reading program is sponsored by the generous support of the Friends of the York County Public Library.
