Teens who participate in the Summer Reading Program can earn one scratch-off ticket per day just by checking out items from the library, and you can earn extra tickets for attending library programs and for each entry on your reading log. Not only will you have the chance to win a prize every time you scratch off a ticket, but each ticket also enters you into a raffle for one of five Grand Prizes, including a $50 Amazon card!
