Summer Reading Challenge off to a Fantastic start!
Breaking Super Records!
(Released June 12, 2015) – The Toledo-Lucas
County Public Library and Lucas County residents have been
challenged to Escape The Ordinary! in this year’s
superhero-themed Summer Reading CHALLENGE (SRC),
which runs now through August 8!
During the pre-registration phase of SRC
(which started May 18), some 3,600 signed up! SRC, which
started June 8, now has more than 9,000 total
registered and growing – a Super record! Last year, some
20,000 total participated in SRC.
Super-Citizens of all ages can have
extraordinary fun and become a reading Superhero by
registering for SRC at a neighborhood library location or
online at
http://src.toledolibrary.org
(src.toledolibrary.org).
Once you register, you can pick up or print
your first Challenge Card. Registration prizes are
available at all library locations. A new Challenge Card
will be released weekly for KIDS and bi-weekly for TEENS and
Read to Me participants. You can log each Challenge Card
once. The SRC program ends August 8 and all prizes must be
claimed by August 22.
Summer Reading Challenge is about reading,
learning and summer fun! We want to encourage people of all
ages to read books, listen to books, try new things and
explore our community and the online world. The amount of
time a child spends reading each day is directly linked to
their success in school. Your Library is here to encourage
children to keep reading and learning all summer-long. Kids
who read succeed!

-
READ TO ME
