Welcome Back Adult Summer Reading Program!



Summer Reading—Not Just for Kids!

Planning on a relaxing vacation this summer? Why not enjoy some good books? Or why not plan on catching up on those titles you were meaning to read but never got around to doing? Once you’ve read up on these interesting titles, come join in the fun and share your reviews during the Pinckney Library’s 2009 “Summer Fun” Adult Summer Reading Program!

“I’ve really enjoyed this program,” is Ashley Sala’s reaction to having won a prize during last year’s program. Kate Pratt, also a previous weekly prize winner agrees thoroughly with that assessment. “Where else but at the library can I read—which I love doing—share my opinions with others—which I like doing anyway—and win prizes for it?” she adds. “I don’t remember when I enjoyed a program more!”

“I’ve been happy to see how well-received this program has been over the past 4 years it’s been offered to our patrons,” says Hope Siasoco, library director. “I think we’ve built an increased awareness of this program in our community, because I know we have a lot of readers in the area. I also think our adult patrons enjoy being able to participate in a program that for years have only been seen by many as ‘just for kids’.”

Starting on July 1, 2009, the program will continue on for two months and end on September 8, 2009. Adult Summer Reading Program is open to anyone 18 years and over. And it’s very simple to participate. No registration necessary. Simply fill out a review form (located in the library or printed from the Pinckney Library’s website) for every book you read over this time period and return them to the library in the “Summer Fun” drop box. These forms will become your entry for prizes given out periodically every week, and will qualify you for a grand prize drawing set for September 9, 2009. The program is open to all Pinckney Library patrons, Friends Group members, Board of Trustees, and Pinckney Library staff.

For more information, call the library (734-878-3888) or visit us on the web @ http://www.pinckneylibrary.org/ or our Facebook page or in person @ 350 Mower Rd., Pinckney MI. So come join in the fun and read this summer!
