Children`s Summer Reading Program 2011 Rules
1) Sign-up for the Summer Reading Program begins June 6th. The last day to sign-up for the Summer Reading Program is August 6th.
2) You may begin turning in tickets June 13th. The last day to turn in tickets is August 13th.
3) The program is open to all children from 18 months to rising 5th graders.
4) All library events are free and open to area children and their caregivers.
5) Participants receive all of their tickets at sign-up; no additional tickets will be given.
Please DO NOT LOSE your tickets!
6) Tickets must be redeemed at the library where you registered. You may register only once.
7) We request that participants redeem a maximum of SIX tickets per week.
8) One ticket may be redeemed for every 1 hour spent reading/being read to. Children may count time spent being read to by parents or siblings. Time spent listening to audiobooks may also be counted. If one child reads to another child in the program, they may both count this time.
9) Participants have a choice of how to use their tickets. Each ticket can be used for a Grand Prize Drawing entry, or multiple tickets can be redeemed for books, food coupons and other prizes.
10) Participants may not combine their tickets with another participants’ or use anyone else’s tickets.
11) The Library will endeavor to offer a selection of prizes of each type: Grand Prize Drawings, food coupons, or books. Please keep in mind that most prizes are donated by area merchants. They may vary by location, their availability is limited, and they will not be announced until the program begins.
12) All tickets redeemed for use as Grand Prize Drawing entries MUST BE STAMPED BY LIBRARY STAFF. Unstamped tickets will be discarded if selected in the drawing. We are required to maintain a count of all prizes given, and this also helps us to achieve better funding and sponsorship for future programs.
13) The Grand Prize Drawing winners will be contacted on Tuesday, August 16th. A child may win only ONE Grand Prize.
14) Programs may be subject to change.
