We are happy to announce our new Adult Summer Reading Program! This year's theme is "Turn the Page and Discover...." We are currently seeking volunteers to present programs, as well as donations for prizes.

If you are interested or have a great idea, please contact the Clara B. Mounce Public Library (979-209-5600) or the Larry J. Ringer Library (979-764-3416) and ask to speak to an Adult Reference staff member.

We also have summer programs for kids, 'tweens, and teens.

Registration:

• Come in to any of our three locations and fill out a registration slip between May 21 - August 31. The first 100 people to register at each location (first 50 at the Carnegie) will get a free pen!
  
  Patrons may enter to win weekly prizes donated by local businesses. For each book you read, fill out a slip and turn it in at the reference desk (maximum of five entries per week). You also get one entry just for registering. You can win a maximum of one of the weekly prizes per summer.
  
  In addition to the weekly prizes, you may win door prizes at some of our events. There will also be a final drawing at the end of the summer for any unclaimed prizes, so continue to fill out your entry slips!
  
  Go to any of our library locations or call to register or enter the drawings, or you may download the registration and entry slips here to print out at home (2 to a sheet). Registration slips: (MS Word, pdf), Drawing slips: (MS Word, pdf).
