Registrationhas begun for the system-wide Summer Reading Club, which kicks off this month with the theme “A Universe of Stories.”

Children and teens will receive a certificate if they read a minimum of five books. For every five books read after that, they have the choice of receiving a prize or a ticket for a raffle, to be drawn in August. Throughout the summer, the branch will be holding many reading club themed activities.
