NEW THIS
YEAR! SUMMER READING MADE SIMPLE!
No more keeping
track of summer reading for both the library and Avon Lake schools.
Reading totals completed for the Avon Lake Public Library (ALPL) Summer Reading
Club will be shared with the Avon Lake City and St. Joseph schools. Totals will
count toward recognition at each school in the fall as well as summer prizes at
the library. Your reading log can be turned in to either the library during the
summer or to your school in the fall.
Reading logs are
being sent home with all Avon Lake Public School and St. Joseph students in
grades K-6, can be printed from the library or school websites, or picked up at
the ALPL Children’s desk, beginning June 1. After reading for 10 days,
bring the log to the library and collect a small prize and mission badge. With
each prize, you’ll also enter a raffle drawing for additional prizes. The first
prize will be available June 17. For further information, contact the
Children’s desk at 440-933-8917 or visit www.alpl.org.

for space adventures.
