Tag: Summer Reading Program

Because of the quarantine, we can’t do traditional summer reading. However, that can’t stop us from continuing the tradition. Heights Libraries has moved summer reading online, and that program will be the subject of this post.

If you go to the summer reading section of the Heights Libraries website, you can get to Beanstack, the website where summer reading has gone online. You can log your reading time each day. You get a raffle ticket for each hour, as well as a badge, and 3 extra tickets when you get to the 10-hour mark (I’m already there, about a week into summer!). Some of the raffle prizes include an art bundle, with an 82-piece art kit with a wooden desk easel; a cooking bundle, with a $25 Walmart gift card, a mini waffle maker, and more; and also a reading bundle, with a $25 gift card to each Mac’s Backs and Appletree Book, a booklight, and a bookmark. There is also a beauty bundle, a music bundle, and a photography bundle. Besides reading, you can complete 8 of the 10 activities suggested activities or write a review of a book you read to get extra raffle tickets.

Do you have a different summer reading program? Do you do this, and have a specific bundle in mind? A great book for me to read and blog about? Comment below, and happy reading!

Hello! This post is going to be about, as the title says, summer reading programs. The reason I do summer reading is that I would read anyway, so why not get rewarded for doing it? There are many different summer reading programs, but there are 2 I do every year. In this post, I will be recommending the Heights Libraries reading program.

The first program I do is at the Heights Libraries. The theme this year is the Great Outdoors. If you’re a reluctant reader, the program I recommend is the Heights Libraries program. This gives you credit for every day, any type of reading. If you read comic books for 5 minutes, you get the same credit as if you read a classic novel for 2 hours. One reason you would do this if you’re someone who reads all the time is that it is easy to keep track of. I read every day, so I know that if it’s, say, June 10, I’ve read 10 days. The prize system is that you get a free book for signing up and a free book for completing the board. The board has 30 squares, 1 for each day. At 5, 15, and 30, you get 1 raffle ticket. There are quite a few different prizes, including 4 tickets to Cedar Point. One of my favorite prizes is the book bundle. It includes a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble! Once you complete one board, you can get another board. For more information, visit your local Heights Libraries branch.

I hope you decide to check out the program. Let me know below in the comments if you recommend any other programs. Keep reading!
