OWN THE NIGHT!
Yancey County Public Library would like to welcome Yancey teen bloggers to the new Summer Reading Program blog!!
Here's how it works:
The Summer Reading Program challenge is to read 1 book per week throughout the Summer Reading Program which lasts June 5- July 24- that's eight books!
Instead of keeping track of the minutes you read, you'll be keeping track of the books you read. Every time you read a book and post a short blog, we will enter your name in the raffle for the grand prize!! We have a bag filled with books, bookmarks, a journal, and some really cool prizes for the grand winner, so start increasing your chances by reading! And yes . . . you guessed it, if you read more than 1 book per week and you add a blog, we will enter your name again:)
Each time you read a book, post a blog which states:
1) the title and author
2) your name & age
3) quick summary
4) what you liked/didn't like
Don't forget that each Tuesday night we meet at the library you have a chance to win a book in one of our scavenger hunts, so stop by the library on Tuesdays to participate . . . not to mention, if you just show up on Tuesday nights, your name is entered in the drawing.

Nice! You are now added to the blog as an author, Amberly, and you can make a blog post instead of a comment:) Feel free to upload with the post anything you like, such as music, video, links to the book cover . . . Check your email for your invite.
