Summer Reading Program

SJCPL's Summer Reading Program is open to all. Registration and prizes are divided by age groups: Children (0-12), Teens (13-17), and Adults (18+).

Each year has its own theme, just to make it more fun! 2008's theme is Metamorphosis @ Your Library for teens and adults. The children's theme is Catch the Reading Bug!



Here’s how the program works:

  • Fill out a registration form, and you will receive an incentive prize, while supplies last.

  • You will also receive a log to record the books you have read, 5 titles per log. Books you listen to count, too!

  • Each log that you turn in becomes an entry for the end-of-summer raffle for gift cards and other prizes. The more logs you turn in, the greater your chance of winning a prize.

  • When children turn in their fourth Reading Log, they can choose a free (new or gently used) book from the SJCPL location at which they registered.

  • Most of the prizes are gift certificates donated by local businesses, and gift cards from area merchants purchased with funds from the Friends of the St. Joseph County Public Library. (Please see the list of past sponsors – we’re grateful for their support!)

  • Winners will be notified by telephone.

  • Enter early and often!

  • For more information, call the Main Library Magazines, Newspapers & Fiction Desk at 282-4614, the Children's Services Desk at 282-4607, or the nearest SJCPL location.
