Summer Reading 2012



Summer Reading 2012 @ Monroeville Public Library!


Monday, June 4 kicks off our Summer Reading Programs here at MPL -- for kids, teens, and adults alike. Read on to find out more about our programs for you and your family this summertime season!



For Kids:





We are very excited to announce that MPL is one of 20 libraries to pilot Questyinz -- a  brand-new, interactive, online game that engages students entering K-5 in reading and exploring their own interests. Children can read, write, and complete discovery quests to win badges and points towards virtual rewards for their avatar, and even real-world rewards for themselves!

Stop in the Library beginning June 4 to get all the details -- and to pick up your password, which will let you log in and be part of this exciting new program.


*Students entering 6th grade are not eligible to play the game, but can be part of the Children's Room's traditional SRC or join the Teen Program.



For Younger Kids:

June 4 is also the kick-off for Think Big -- Read, the Read-to-Me Club for younger children. Parents keep a list of the books they share with their child over the summer. Kids get stickers and rewards for returning their completed list. Pick up the list and other details at the Library!



For Teens:





OWN THE NIGHT @ YOUR LIBRARY: TEEN SUMMER READING PROGRAM at MONROEVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY

On June 4th, Monroeville Public Library will kick off its annual Teen Summer Reading (TSR) program. TSR is open to all teens (or any students who have completed grades 5-12) to participate.

Students read all summer to participate in a Chinese auction of prizes -- as well as getting the chance to attend a variety of summer activities, from movie marathons and writing workshops to rock concerts and book clubs. There are special weekly drawings for extra prizes, and every teen who reads at least 10 books or writes three book reviews will be eligible for a special gift card. We'll wrap up the summer with our annual ending program party. (Keep up to date on our teen programs here.)

Login here starting June 4th to register and track your Summer Reading.




For Adults:






Check out what’s “Between the Covers” this summer!  Join Monroeville Public Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program about all things nocturnal. The Adult program will run concurrently with the children’s and teen’s programs, so you can get your whole family involved.

Starting June 4th, adults can register at the Library or online. Spend your summer reading (or listening to audiobooks), and you'll be eligible to win prizes from fine forgiveness coupons to an iPod shuffle!  Just record your books and audiobooks online (or on paper) -- the more you read, the better your chances of winning. (You can find out all the details by stopping by the Adult Reference Desk at the Library.)
