Schlow's Adult Summer Reading program encourages you to get in bed with some good books this summer.
Registration will begin June 1st from Schlow's website. Log the books you read and you will be entered into weekly prize drawings.
The grand prize is a Kindle Fire eReader (subject to change if a cooler eReader is released!)
Other prizes include Schlow Library mugs, gift certificates from local restaurants, round trip tickets to a destination of your choice from Megabus and a night's stay plus breakfast at the Carnegie Inn!
We also have fun events planned all summer.
