Teen Summer Reading Club
July 2 to August 28
Who will out read the other this summer? The Library staff or the young adults of Ajax? The challenge is on! Complete the survey once a week and follow @ajaxlibrary_teens for updates all summer long. While you're at it, grab a trope bookmark (or two, or three! There is no limit) to fill out as you read your way through the summer with any books of your choosing.
At the end of the summer, you are invited to join your fellow readers at an exclusive wrap-up party! You will get ballots for prize draws from all your completed bookmarks, the trivia questions you get right, and bonus points for sending pictures of your reading to @ajaxlibrary_teens on Instagram throughout the summer.
Plus, if the teens out read the library staff, there will be a special surprise!
The wrap-up party will be held on Wednesday, August 27, 2:30–4:30 p.m. at Main Branch.
