Remember summer reading programs when you were a kid? Read 10 books and get your own pizza? Or stickers. Or…more books? Well, TCPL’s 2022 Adult reading Program might not have pizza, but we do offer prizes! All just for doing what you love — READING! Submit reviews, complete a Super Summer Reading Challenge Board, attend summer programs, or heck, do all 3 and each time you will be entered to win one of our amazing raffle prizes.

  1. Submit at least 1 written book review at the reference desk or online with this Google form.
  2. Super Summer reading Challenge boards available at the reference desk or online. Submit your completed board at the reference desk or email a picture of your game board to programs@tcpl.org.
  3. Attend any library event or program between June 25 and August 6.
