Unmask! Teen Suntime Reading Program

The Teen Suntime Reading program is on the way and this year’s theme is “Unmask!” Our programs, book displays, and activities will focus on heroes- both real and fictional. Sign-ups begin June 15th and run until July 31st.  For each of the six weeks of the program, we’ll have special events and activities. Each week, for every hour you have read, you will get one entry into the weekly raffle for awesome prizes like gift cards from Amazon and iTunes (with a maximum of five entries per week). For every weekly activity and event you attend, you’ll also get an entry into the weekly prize drawing. We have plenty of new and exciting books and graphic novels to check out!

 

This year, you have the option to register online or in person! Registering and logging your hours read online is a great option if you are busy or will be away! Stayed tuned, more details to come soon. 

 

 

 

 “Unmask” is sponsored by the Southwick Public Library, the Massachusetts Library System, the Boston Bruins, and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
