SUMMER READING PROGRAM


READERS OF THE ROUND TABLE
Slay the Dragon of Boredom this Summer - Read!

Our adult summer reading program, Readers of the Round Table, concluded on July 28.  Check out the winners from the weekly prize drawings and our Grand Prize Winners.  Seventy-seven patrons participated and read 332 books!  Many thanks to the Friends of the York County Public Library for providing the prizes and to Cub Scout Pack 122, Den 3 for constructing the medieval castles for our display.


Read stories about knights and heros in the York County Public Library Summer Reading Program.A noble task we have for thee.  Thy quest this summer is to read the stories of the knights and heroes of thy choice. A record of each reading shall be kept and submitted weekly online using the Library's Summer Reading database. Though the faint of heart would be deterred by the obstacles that lie in wait, we doubt not that our brave Readers will embrace the challenge and return to the library victorious, bringing many wondrous tales of adventure.  Glory and riches will be the reward of the most faithful Readers.

Let thy quest begin!
