Teens ages 12-18 may get a reading log and earn credit for signing up online, attending a program, reading a book and writing a review. Incentives are also awarded to teens who bring their log to the Library. Teens receive a certificate and a choice of a free book when their reading log is completed. Teens can enter a completed reading log in a drawing for an iPod Shuffle. One iPod Shuffle winner will be drawn at the Grissom, Main Street and Pearl Bailey Libraries at the completion of the Summer Reading Program on Aug. 7.
