Race into Reading: Adult Summer Reading Club

Race into Reading
(Or, why should the little readers have all the fun?)

2009 CDPL Adult Summer Reading Club
June 1 - August 31
Open to adults ages 18 and up

This year, the Crawfordsville District Public Library will sport an auto race summer reading club. Participants will receive a registration package, which will include a bookmark, pen, notebook, paper car, and instructions.

Each section of the reading race track will represent a genre such as mystery or suspense. To drive your car around the track simply read a book from the genre that represents each section. Wish you could "speed" through a section? Use the "skip" ticket in your packet and drive through one section without stopping to read. When you hit the pit stop, read a play, poetry, or book of short stories. After passing the pit stop, you'll win a black and white Carnegie Museum coffee mug. Once you've crossed the finish line, your name will be entered into a drawing. The winner will receive a free night at Myers Dinner Theater and an overnight stay at their bed and breakfast.

If you need help finding and choosing a book, check out our "Categories" feature on this blog. Many of the categories match the race track genres. You can also ask a library staff member to show you how to use the PAC (public access catalog). Once you've learned how to "navigate" the PAC you'll always be in the driver's seat when looking for a good book to read from the library.
