Teen Reading Program (Jun 01 - Jul 27)
This program is designed for teens age 13 to 17 to encourage life-long reading habits. Once you've earned enough points you'll receive a completion certificate!
How the Program Works
Each book you read counts as 100 points; e-Books, e-Audio-books, audio-books, manga, graphic novels, and chapter books all count. On top of that, you get to count each minute spent reading. So let's say you were reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and it took you 4 hours to read, that gives you 240 points from minutes read plus another 100 for finishing the book - you would already be at 340 points.
Prizes
Each Friday starting on June 7th, everyone who has logged points is entered to win a raffle prize. The last raffle will be drawn on July 19.
Raffles are held: June 7th, June 14th, June 21st, June 28th, July 5th, July 12th, and July 19th.
For as long as supplies last there will be finisher prizes. Plus, every participant who completes at least 1000 points will be entered in a Grand Prize Raffle for a Nintendo Classic or a Fuji Instamax camera with accessories. Each additional 100 minutes past the initial 1000 is another entry into the grand prize drawing.
