SUMMER LIBRARY PROGRAM: ALL AGES
June 15-July27
Across all ages, our community has been reading and coming together at the library this summer..and soon it will be time to celebrate and give out prizes!
   The library is not just for books, it is a community center. Tickets to the raffle are awarded anytime you attend a program at the library or finish a book. Whether or not you meet your goal, make sure to let us know how many books you read and programs you attended this summer by Tuesday, July 27th!  Winners will be announced the following Thursday. All participants will receive a prize and certificate at the end of the summer.
If you haven't registered for the Summer Library Program yet, there is still time! You can sign up any time right up until the last day. We are raffling four gift certificates. Winners choose the local business they would like to support.  Even if you are not an avid reader you can earn tickets by participating in our programs. That includes your trips with your kids to our children's programs!

A reminder of all the different ways to earn raffle tickets:
  • 1 ticket just for registering for the Summer Reading Program at RCML
  • 1 ticket for every book or audiobook completed
  • 1 ticket for requesting an InterLibrary Loan (adults and teens only at this time)
  • 2 tickets for attending any RCML program
  • 3 tickets for completing your personal reading goal
 Just like everything that the library offers, the Summer Library Program is free!
