Lake Station-New Chicago closed until further notice
As always, summer reading is open to all ages. You can sign up any time between now and July 31 - but you can't start logging your minutes until June 1!
Sign up online or at your branch! You'll earn a raffle ticket for each hour you read - plus some smaller prizes along the way.
Earn a raffle ticket for each hour you read! You can log your reading and submit tickets online, or visit your favorite branch for an old-fashioned paper tracker.
Each ticket can be submitted for a chance to win one of our fabulous Grand Prizes!
But that's not all - everyone can also earn the following prizes:
1st hour of reading: A Railcats ticket & a voucher for a free one-topping individual pizza from Lou Malnati's
2nd hour of reading: Colored pencils
3rd hour of reading: Free book
4th hour of reading: Color-on book tote and crayons
At 4 hours of reading: 3 free books
Q: What if I read to someone else?
A: Both of you get credit for that reading time!
Q: Do audiobooks count?
A: Yes! Time spent listening to a book is time spent reading.
Q: I can't read for a whole hour at a time. Can I log smaller units?
A: Yes! You can log as little as 1 minute at a time (and no more than 900 minutes in a day).
Q: When do I find out if I won a Grand Prize?
A: Grand Prize winners will be contacted August 4.
Thank you to the Friends of LCPL for providing this year's awesome prizes! For each hour you read, you earn one raffle ticket to put toward one of these prizes. You can also earn smaller prizes for your first 4 hours of reading!
