Registration begins Tuesday, June 1st

The Summer Reading Program for Teens and Tweens (ages 10+) at the Warren Public Library begins June 14th and concludes on July 24th. Teens and tweens may register at any time at the main desk of the Library. When registering for the program teens and tweens may enter the drawings for life-size standups of Edward and Bella from The Twilight Series.
Upon registering for the program participants will receive a reading log to keep track of their total number of pages read. For every 100 pages read the reader may submit an entry form for the Grand Prizes drawings. Teens may come to the library after reading 100 pages to complete an entry form or they may come in periodically or they may wait until their reading log is complete. Circulation staff will stamp the reading log to show that an entry form has been completed. There will be a variety of grand prizes ranging from $100 in cash, a boxed set of TheTwilight Series, gift cards, additional cash prizes, etc. Reading logs must be returned to the library no later than Monday, July 26th. Teens and tweens who attend Teen/Tween Craft events may submit an entry for the Grand Prize drawings.
