Limestone
Township Library District Celebrates Summer Reading
We
are nearing the mid-point of Summer Reading: Where Wild Wonders Await!
And
slowly we are seeing Reading Logs being turned into the Front Desk. Remember
that for every twenty minutes you spend reading and mark on your log sheet, you
will receive a ticket to place in our raffle prize baskets.
But
wait, there’s more.
Kids
who are 15 years old and younger who have turned in a reading log with 300
minutes marked out will receive a coupon for a FREE 8” pizza from Monical’s.
You must turn in your completed log sheet to receive your coupon. The coupon is
limited to one per child.
If
you haven’t signed up for summer reading yet, there is still time to do so.
Just stop in the library to fill out the super simple registration form and
receive your information folder complete with program calendar and two reading
