Summer Reading 2007

 

 

Please tell us when you have read for 5 hours, or 200 pages.
If someone reads to you, report after you've listened to 30 picture books.
(We count the time you listen to books, even if you can read by yourself.)
Come to the library and receive a small reward.
When we add up everyone's reading at the end of the summer,
we'll donate money to the Chelmsford Friends of Music based on how much everyone has read.

Register in the Library

Come to the library beginning Sat., June 2 to pick up reading logs.

Reading logs for children who are able to read themselves keep track of the time spent reading, with a list of 10 favorite books.

Read-to-me logs have space for 30 book titles.

More logs are available throughout the summer if you read for more than 20 hours, or have more than 30 books read to you.

 

 

  

 

Register Online

Beginning June 2nd you may register for summer reading online.

Please decide how you would like to measure your reading before you sign-up.

(This is especially important for anyone who plans on reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.)

This summer we will focus on music in the library.
Our charitable contribution will go to the Chelmsford Friends of Music.

For every 5 hours a child reads, the Friends of the Library will donate $1 to the Friends of Music.

When reading picture books to a young child, we will donate $1 for every 30 books.
(We want you reading slowly enough for your child to enjoy the pictures.)

If you count pages, please report every 200 pages. (For a more exact number, you can count how many pages you read in 15 minutes and multiply that number by 20.)
