Read any books on your reading level. You may choose books from the Port Washington Public Library collection, school summer reading lists, or any other sources. Not sure what to read? Get suggestions online at Teen Readers' Advisory.

Complete both sides of a written "mini-review" form for each book read, and return reviews to the library between Saturday, July 5 and closing time (1 p.m.) on Saturday, August 23. You don't have to be home for the summer to participate. Reviews may be delivered in person, emailed or mailed to:

Prizes:
For each of the first 5 books read and reviewed, you will receive a prize by mail. A weekly prize drawing will take place at the end of each of the 7 full weeks of the reading club. All readers who have submitted reviews that week will have their reviews entered in the drawing. The more reviews received, the greater the chance of winning.

Final Prize Drawing:
All readers who have submitted at least five reviews by closing (1 p.m.) on Saturday, August 23 will have their names entered in the final prize drawing!

Guess What!  Writers of the three best book reviews will each receive an additional prize to be presented at the Friends and Family Day event, at the library, on November 1st.
