ALSO NEW THIS SUMMER!!  We have online registration for summer reading!! Visit https://readerzone.com/ and sign up (or download the Reader Zone app from your App Store). You can register as a parent with your name, email, and password (or teens with an email can sign up as a reader). Sign up with the code reading-takes-you-everywhere (make sure you include the dashes). Then register your child(ren) as readers. You can then choose which "organization" (grade level) they are in for the program! Log minutes  or books or pages depending on their goals!

Teens can pick up their space notebook to keep track of your pages read (or log pages online) and earn prizes for every 400 pages read (for a total of 4 prizes). When you read 1,800 pages you earn a free book or t-shirt of your choice! Answer the questions about space to get entered in our prize drawings (held at the end of the program).
