The Young Adult Summer Reading Program is open to students in grades 7-12. Teens may stop by the Reference Services desk at any MPHPL location and pick up a reading record booklet. For every book read, you will be entered in a weekly prize drawing and a grand prize drawing that will be held at the end of the program. You may turn in one reading slip and enter the drawings for every book read. Invalid entries will be discarded. Don’t forget to fill out a recommended reading form for every book! Identical prizes will be given at all MPHPL locations, but only one prize may be won per person in the weekly prizes. All participants will be entered for the Grand Prize Drawing. All reading slips must be turned in at the Reference Services desk by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 31. Winners will be notified by mail and a list of winners will be posted on Wednesday, August 4.

Reading materials must be checked out from the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library system, but can come from any area of the library. Items checked out should be at or above your reading level. If you are entering grade 7, you may choose between participating in the children’s program or the young adult program, but you may not participate in both programs or switch programs in the middle of the summer. Additional reading record booklets will be available at the Reference Services desk at all MPHPL locations through July 31. Watch for special events with games, fun, and food scheduled throughout the program! You may participate for only one week or each week of the Summer Reading Program. Don’t forget to fill out a Recommended Reading Form for every book read! For additional information, contact Reference Services at any MPHPL location.
