Defiance Public Library
 
Register yourself or your child for DPL's Summer Reading Program by stopping by in person at the Youth Services Desk. Registrants will be given a full list of program times and dates that they are eligible to attend once registered.

Read just 20 minutes each day (or be read to) and mark it off on your reading record to make sure you will be entered to win prizes at the end of the program. (Don't worry, 8 "read free" days are included in case you just can't fit it in!)

Attend any of our Summer Reading Program events for free throughout June and July! Not only are these programs ridiculously fun, they also can count as a day's reading by placing the sticker you receive at that program in your reading record! You can stay up to date on the latest scheduled programs by visiting our online calendar.
 
Win prizes just by completing at least 6 weeks of programming and/or reading. What could be simpler or more fun than that!

Johnson Memorial Library in Hicksville
 
Register yourself or your child by filling out a simple registration form at the Johnson Memorial Library in Hicksville, or by dropping off the registration form you received at school.
 
Read to beat the Adults! You are in competition with the adults to see who can read the most books during the Summer Reading Program. Plus, the more you read, the more you can win in prize and raffle drawings at the end of the program...it's a win-win-win!
 
Attend any or all of our great programs throughout the summer. There will be special storytimes, outdoor celebrations, birthday bashes, and gaming events for a summer of fun. All programs are free and open to all SRP registrants.
 
Win more prizes by reading more books! It's that simple!
