LIBRARY TO OFFER TEEN SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Tompkins County Public Library invites students in grades 6 through 12 to participate in the 2010 Summer Reading Program.

Students from across New York State will participate in this year’s program, Make Waves @ Your Library. Participants who read books and submit book reviews between June 26 and August 31 will earn prizes and be eligible to win gift certificates to local retailers including: Urban Outfitters, Eastern Mountain Sports, Best Buy, Buffalo Street Books, Barnes & Noble, Regal Cinemas, Itunes, Purity Ice Cream, and Collegetown Bagels.

The first book review will serve as registration and can be submitted online at http://tcpl.org/teens/write-it-imo.php or in person at the Library’s Youth Services Department. After three reviews, participants will receive a free book. Each book review will also serve as a raffle ticket to win larger prizes. The more books read and reviews submitted, the more chances participants will have to win.

The 2010 Summer Reading Program is made possible by the Helen Thomas Howland Foundation as administered by the Community Foundation of Tompkins County Foundation and M&T Bank.
