2013 Summer Reading Program for Adults

woman reading in grassSummer Reading isn’t only for kids!  Our Adult Summer Reading Program runs from June 17 through August 17.  Registration is open as of June 1.

The theme for this year’s Adult Summer Reading Program is “Groundbreaking Reads.”  Anyone age 18 and older can participate in this self-paced program. Participants may read or listen to any book, fiction or non-fiction, and submit a brief review. There will be a weekly door prize drawing from reviews submitted each week.

Explore not only groundbreaking books but underground movements such as prohibition and resistance movements. Dig into other underground phenomena and activities like composting, caving, and archaeology. Suggested bibliographies are available at the Circulation Desk.
