Read and win prizes! Our summer reading program is designed to encourage children and teens to read throughout the summer.

Your first goal is to read sixty-minutes each of the eight weeks between June 4 and July 29. You'll earn a badge for each week you reach this goal. You'll also win a small incentive (bookmark, bag etc) and a free book. If you earn all eight badges you will get ten extra tickets at the end of the summer.

Your second goal is to **read more**!!! For every full sixty-minute period you read in a week you will get one raffle ticket. Each ticket is a chance to win one of the larger prizes on display at the library.

Van Meter Book Exchange

Join the Van Meter Book Exchange sponsored by VMPL. It's a FaceBook page where you can lend, borrow and gift books owned by other community members. You must either live in Van Meter or have a Van Meter Public Library card.

Post the books you are finished reading so others can see what you have available. You can post a group of books or a single title; children's books and adult. This site is only for books being loaned, borrowed or gifted. It not for selling books.

If you see an item that you're interested in, make arrangements for the hand-off. You can plan a meet-up or VMPL is happy to act as a go-between. Just drop off your book and tell us who will be picking it up (and if you want it back or not). We are fortunate to live in a small town where folks know one another. Still, it is best to be cautious when meeting up with a stranger.
