MAKE WAVES @ YOUR LIBRARY!
A Summer Reading Program for Teens in Grades 6-12

Teens are encouraged to read 5 (or more) books @ home during the 5-week program. Write a short report (forms are provided) on each book you read & bring it to the Moffat Library on either Tuesdays, Thursdays, OR Saturdays. A Moffat Library staff member will record the books they read on their log. Teens get points for each book they read and for completing various activities during the program. For every 10 points earned, they receive a prize (up to 100 points or 10 prizes)! In addition to the reading program, we will also be presenting other fun programs like movies, cooking classes, crafts, & other fun stuff that summer reading program participants can sign up for also! A separate registration for these programs is going on now. But space is limited. Please Note: In-person registration is required for the Summer Reading Program.
