Tails and Tales – Summer Reading 2021 – Earn Prizes by Reading

Are you looking to have a paws-itively fun summer? Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge at your local PCDL branch starting June 1 to get some loot:

Kids ages 12 and under will receive a tote bag (first 250 to sign up), temporary tattoo, bookmark, and other goodies.

Teens grades 6-12 will receive a pull string bag and bookmark.

Plus, kids and teens earn a prize and tickets after logging four, eight, and 12 hours read! Earn more tickets for completing fun activities. Turn in your tickets for the chance to win all kinds of wild prizes like the ones below.

Adults will read books, listen to music, or watch a movie, and then write a review. The more you write, the more chances you’ll have to win! There will be a final adult prize drawing at the end of Summer Reading.

West Alexandria Library kids will be able to adopt a stuffed animal when they sign up for Summer Reading at the W. Alex Branch. Each pet comes with a book made by Miss Kathy and an official adoption paper.
