The North Olympic Library System challenges everyone in Clallam County to “Read Beyond the Beaten Path” this summer.
Sign up for the Summer Reading Program at nols.org/srp and read — or be read to — daily to earn a limited-edition T-shirt and enter to win prizes.
Beginning this week, patrons/library users can pick up a free book, track their reading and participate in free activities all summer, such as a reading launch party with Olympic National Park for families, author talks and a Books and Locations program that pairs books with places to explore for adults, a weekly Discovery Club with art, nature and science activities for kids, and more.
To participate, sign up at nols.org/srp and set a daily reading goal. Track your reading through Saturday, Sept. 3.
Read for 30 days to earn an entry into the grand prize drawing and pick up a special Summer Reading Challenge T-shirt designed by local artist Melissa Klein.
Read for an additional 30 days for a second entry into the drawing.
Each grand prize drawing winner can select one of the following prizes: a $100 gift card to a local book store or restaurant, or a LEGO set (up to $100 in value).
The Summer Reading Program, organizers say, provides a fun way for families to help keep kids engaged, prevent the “summer slide” of learning loss and develop a lifelong love of reading.
The program is supported by Friends of the Library groups at all four NOLS branches. For more information, visit nols.org/srp, call 360-417-8500 or email to discover@nols.org.
