Who says kids have all the fun? This summer, GPL is going to prove that wrong with our first ever adult summer reading program. You can read 1 book or 20, it’s up to you. Sign up begins June 22. Visit the library to pick up information on our program.
SUMMER READING RAFFLE
There will be a raffle at our summer reading finale ice cream social on Thursday July 30 from 7-8 PM, and anyone can win our great prizes from local businesses and artisans! Fill out a raffle ticket for each book you read or audiobook you listened to (reading to kids counts – one ticket for 5 kids’ books read), and we’ll have a drawing at our ice cream social to pick the winners. The more books you read, the better your chances of winning!
