<br />Summer Reading for All Ages at Eugene Public Library
<br />Eugene Public Library’s Summer Reading program helps kids keep their reading skills up while school’s out. This year’s
<br />theme is “Dig into Reading” – and all ages are welcome to join in the fun!
<br />
<br />Children, teens, and adults can visit any Eugene Public Library location - Downtown,
<br />Sheldon, or Bethel - to sign up and pick up a calendar of free events.
<br />
<br />At sign up, kids and teens each get a free book to keep, courtesy of the Friends of the
<br />Library. Each time they visit the Library, children can also enter a raffle for family passes
<br />to City of Eugene pools or local museums.
<br />
<br />Adults get a coupon for a free coffee from Novella Cafe or $1 off a purchase at Second Hand
<br />Prose Book Store, both located at the Downtown Library, plus a tote bag, and themed
<br />booklists. Adults and teens are invited to enter free raffles to win gift cards by writing
<br />book reviews on the Library website.
<br />
<br />A full summer of events for all ages will include hands-on arts and writing workshops, live
<br />music, author talks, storytelling, the annual Teddy Bear Picnic, and lots more. For more information, visit www.eugene-
