The 2013 Tween & Teen Summer Reading Program kicked off May 20th and will run until August 3rd, 2013! This is a great way to earn cool prizes by reading whatever you'd like. All you have to do is read 6 books and you'll earn a cool keepsake safe & a book of coupons for all kinds of great food and entertainment. This year's theme is Beneath the Surface and there are a ton of fun events happening all around Tulsa to celebrate. Below you can check out the Summer Reading Program event guide, read performer descriptions, and even print off a reading log (these are also available at all library branches).
Thank you to all who entered this year's Young People's Creative Writing Contest! Winners will be notified by telephone in early August.
Have a great summer!
