Anderson County Library's Summer Reading for Adults
Don’t let the kids have ALL the fun this summer. Sign up to
read for your own chance to win a Books-a-Million gift certificate!
Sign up at any Anderson County Library location. You’ll get a
reading log, a book review form and a bookmark. Then, there are two ways to
participate:
Write a book review and turn it in by July
26.
Keep track on your reading log of time spent
reading for pleasure. Include reading to yourself or to others (such as
reading aloud to children). When you’ve logged two hours, turn in your
reading log by July 26.
The more you read, the more chances you have to win. You can
review as many books and turn in as many reading logs as you like. Each
completed review or reading log gives you one chance to win.
Check here to see
your reviews.
All entries are due by July 26. Prize drawing will be
held on July 28.
