Summer Reading Programs

The theme for Rodman Public Library’s 2008 Summer Reading Program is "Catch the Reading Bug!" All patrons may sign up at the Main Library, the Carnation Mall Branch, or on the Bookmobile.

The Children’s Department program will run from June 2 – August 30 and is open to all children from birth through eighth grade. A special Read-to-Me segment is available for preschool-age and kindergarten children. Children who read ten hours will receive a certificate of completion, their choice of a new paperback book to keep and credit for their school. A variety of free programs will be offered. This is a wonderful way to help children retain and improve the reading skills they’ve learned in school.

The Adult program will take place June 9 – August 30. A ticket will be given for each book read and a weekly drawing will take place for a Friends of Rodman Library book bag. A grand prize ticket will be given for every six books read and a drawing will be held at the end of the program for a gift basket of goodies.

Students in grades 9-12 will have the opportunity to participate in the Young Adult Summer Reading Program at the Main Library. Check out and read at least six books from June 9 – August 30 for a chance to win one of five gift certificates to Waldenbooks. Any student completing the program will earn certificates good at local eateries.

Join Rodman Library for another successful summer of reading!
