June Activities

Teen Summer Reading Program
Beginning on June 24 students entering grades 6-12 may sign up for the Teen Summer Reading Program at any East Providence library location. Each student will receive a reading chart to keep track of the number of hours he/she reads. Students will earn a free book and raffle ticket after reading for ten hours. After that, students earn a raffle ticket for every five hours of reading. Tickets may be used to enter the raffles of the student’s choice to win gift cards for Borders, itunes, Target and Wal-Mart. The library challenges participants to donate some tickets toward the purchase of a farm animal for a needy village overseas. Raffle winners will be chosen on Thursday August 20. Students may sign up for the program throughout the summer. On Wednesday, June 24 all four libraries will kick off this event by making dazzling beaded jewelry.
