Adult
Summer Reading
|  |
As always, the library believes adults should have as much fun as young people during the summer.
To further this cause, we encourage you to read as much as you want and win prizes
for doing so.
The Adult Summer Reading program will run from June 15 through August 18.
Read, listen or download as many books as you like, whatever you like, and record your titles online through the library's web site. Each online entry will count as one chance in our prize drawings. Throughout the summer there will be drawings at each branch and at the end of August a grand prize winner will be chosen.
Read, relax, and win prizes! It's summer in the Grosse Pointes!
