At BPL, patrons of all-ages are invited to sign up for our SCR (Summer Community Read) program. Maybe, like me, you have vivid childhood memories of getting your summer reading prize, stamp, or coupon, at your local library. I remember the excitement of going to the library and walking up to the desk with my reading tracker in hand. While I have not been inside my childhood library for many years, I can still visualize the space in my head. Maybe your library memories are being made now, in adulthood and/or retirement. Don’t worry, there’s still the chance for you to make memories around summer reading!
Last Summer, my mom sent me an Instagram post from Books of Brilliance. The post contained a quote from writer Hillary Kelly: “Cruel that an adult can spend her whole summer reading but not have a library sheet to fill in with stickers to document her progress.”
Well, the good news is that you CAN get a library sheet to document your summer reading progress, even as an adult! We have a variety of water bottle/laptop stickers that you can earn, along with the chance to win door prizes, $100 Easton gift card, $50 Kroger gift card, gardening basket, coffee & tea basket, and more! This year’s theme is Color Our World. Make your summer more colorful with reading, fun, and prizes! Register on our website or in person at Bexley Public Library starting Friday, May 30th.We hope you join us!
