Adult Summer Reading Program

There will be an Adult Summer Reading Club for our adult patrons this summer.
Here’s the skinny:

· PROGRAM DATES: June 1 – August 1, 2010 (same as “From Fables to Fantasy”)

· HOW TO REGISTER: The registration process is the same for the Adult SRC as it is for “From Fables to Fantasy”.

· HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Participants read books in any format, and enter the book titles read on their online reading logs. (Logging hours is not an available option for Adult SRC.)

Adult Summer Reading Club Random Drawing Prizes:

Random drawings are the only incentives (besides the fun and general feeling of accomplishment). Like the SRP for kids and teens, if participants would like to be eligible for the random drawings, they must include their contact information when they register.

Weekly Drawing: $50 gift card to a local independent bookseller

All participants are eligible for the weekly $50 gift card drawing. There will a total of nine drawings for these completed every Friday during the months of June and July.

Monthly Drawing: Sony eReader, Pocket Edition

The number of entries for the monthly eReader drawing will be based on how many books the patron has entered into his or her online reading log; in other words, the more the patron reads, the better his or her chances are to win the eReader. There will be a total of two drawings for these completed on or about Thursday, July 1st and Monday, August 2nd.

As you might have guessed, HPL staff are not eligible to participate in the Adult SRC. However, adult family members of HPL staff are eligible, and staff are strongly encouraged to participate in Staff SRC. (It’s a lot of fun!)

I hope that helps to answer any questions you may have about the program. There will be some printed collateral and a page on our Website with this information available soon.
