Niles District Library Summer Reading 2012 is under way. Calendars for the Read-to-Me, Independent Reader and Teen groups are available for pickup in the children’s department.

Even adults can participate in summer reading this year. Just pick up reading slips at the Information Desk, read a book (any genre, any format, fiction or non-fiction) and place your slip in the drop-box at the information desk, or fill it out on the library’s website.  Each slip acts as a raffle ticket, so the more entries  the better the chances are at winning one of two Olympic-sized Amazon gift cards or a Nook eReader.
