flying saucersPlease join us for our second annual summer reading club for adults and teens. Sign up online at http://www.readsinma.org/dartmouth and start reading. You may read anything you like. Just keep track of the number of minutes you read and enter them online. You should also pick up 2009 Summer Reading punch cards at the library. Mark off an X for every 30 minutes of reading. When a card is full, write in your name and phone number and return the card to the library to enter our raffle. There will be 3 prizes for our adult readers and 3 prizes for the teens. Your punch cards will be used as raffle tickets at the Summer Reading Party in August. The more you read, the more chances you have to win. You do not have to attend the party to win.
