Express Yourself at the library this summer!

If you're reading this blog, you probably enjoy reading in general. But even if you don't love reading, I know you love prizes! This summer, Henderson District Public Libraries offers you a Teen Summer Reading Program with the opportunity to win some very cool stuff, including gift cards to your favorite stores, food, and go-kart racing.

What do you have to do for a chance to win? It's simple. Register for the SRP online here or at your nearest library. Whenever you read throughout the summer, log your minutes online. Log five hours by midnight on Sunday each week, and you will be entered into weekly raffles. Here's the raffle schedule:

6/22 - Eight Bowling Passes (2 drawings)

6/29 - $25 Gift Card to Borders (2 drawings)

7/6 - $25 Gift Card to Regal Cinemas (2 drawings)

7/13 - 4 Pack of Passes for King Putt Mini Golf (2 drawings)
