readis librarius (Reading Bug)
readis librarius (Reading Bug)

This year’s theme is about “bugs,” specifically the species readis librarius, a sophisticated genus that prefers the habitat of the public library and preys on the inhabitants of these areas.  The bite of the commonly called “reading bug” is hardly noticeable and not painful, but the subsequent side effects are long-lasting and incurable.  You may have been bitten if you exhibit the following symptoms:

1)    Feel an overwhelming urge to visit your public library at least once a week.

2)     Stay up past your normal bedtime to finish a book.

3)     Panic if you find less than three (3) books in your home at any given time.

4)     Find an inexplicable pleasure in handling books, reading the inside covers or first paragraphs.

While not fatal, the condition is chronic and can only be relieved by frequent visits to your public library and generous amounts of reading.

We know many of you have already been bitten by the reading “bug”.  Some of you would like to read more but don’t feel you have the time or incentive to discover the treasures in your library.

The summer reading programs are designed to help you continue with your reading “therapy” and draw you into the “habitat” of the "reading bug.” If your kids are signed up for the juvenile summer program, you’re going to be here anyway!

We offer great prizes and drawings, there are no sign-ups or fees, and all you need is a current library card (which is free also).  We’ll even give you reading lists and suggestions to get you started.

 

ONE GRAND PRIZE will be drawn from entries submitted by people who have submitted at least five entry forms by the end of the reading program.
LIBRARY BINGO Pick up a bingo game sheet on the display or at the Main Desk. Follow the directions and return your completed game sheet to staff at the main desk to win. (1 prize per patron please)

The more you read,
the more chances you have to win!
