2012 Kids Summer Reading
Explore the world through your library!
Beginning June 20, children ages 0-11 may sign up at any Newport News Public Library to receive a reading log to keep track of books read. Ages 0-5 and beginning readers may participate by having someone read to them. Incentives are awarded to encourage children to keep reading during the summer. Children must visit the Library and share their log with staff to receive prizes. Those who complete a reading log receive a certificate and a free book.
