The Children's Summer Reading Club theme for 2008 is"Catch the Reading Bug." | |
|---|---|
| Students who read for enjoyment during summer vacation not only have fun but keep more of the reading skills they learned during the past school year. In September, these students are more ready to forge ahead learning new things! |  |
| How the Summer Reading Club works:
| |
| 1. Register at the Horsham Township Library beginning Monday, June 16th and receive your Catch the Reading Bug Reading Record and Calendar. |  |
 | 2. Keep track of the days you READ or LISTEN to books for 30 minutes or more. Mark your Reading Record Calendar and record your book titles. |
| 3. Bring your Catch the Reading Bug Reading Record to the library as often as you can and earn ONE Raffle Ticket and One Prize from the Bookworm Prize Bin for every five days that you read from June 16th - August 4th. Raffle tickets will be drawn for prizes on August 8th. |  |
 | 4. Come to as many of the great programs offered throughout the summer as you can! (Programs, dates and times are listed below.) |
| 5. Have FUN, FUN, FUN! IT'S THAT EASY! |  |

Reading Olympics aims to increase students' reading for enjoyment. Students work with teammates to read forty to fifty books picked by a group of librarians, reading specialists and teachers. Then student teams answer questions about the books during county regional competitions. The Olympics are a celebration of reading where everybody wins!
