Do you love to read? Would you like something fun to do over the winter? Have you always wanted to join a reading club? Then you'll love our adult reading program, We the People...Created Equal.
How does the program work? It's really simple!
1. The club will run from December 1st, 2008 through February 28th, 2009.
2. Read any book or listen to any audio book. Read as many books as you want.
3. Sign up for the reading club. Report the books you read and record the title, author, and a short review of the book. This can be done either at the library or through the library's webpage at www.pascolibraries.org.
4. You will receive 1 point for every book you read, but, better yet, you will get 2 points for every book you read from a set list of titles and authors celebrating "We the People" of the United States. Ask the reference desk for a copy of the reading list. 5 points will get you a Pasco County Library System coffee mug!
5. There will be two random prize drawings at the end of each month for December, January and February. You must have a minimum of 5 points to qualify. At the end of the program, there will be a grand prize for the person who reads the most books. There will be two winners, one for the east side of the county and one for the west side.
So get reading and enjoy a hot beverage on a cool day in a PCLS mug!
