Teen Summer Reading at Eugene Public Library
The free Teen Summer Reading Program at the Eugene Public Library helps local middle and high school students
keep their reading skills up while school’s out. Summer Reading is a great way to learn new things, make new friends,
and have fun.
Teens can visit any Eugene Public Library location – Downtown, Sheldon, or Bethel - to sign up
and pick up a calendar of free events. At sign-up, each teen gets to choose a free book courtesy of
the Friends of the Library. Teens can also enter a free raffle for gift certificates by writing book
reviews at the Library website.
The summer is filled with activities for teens at all Library locations, including hands-on art and
writing workshops, movies, gaming, and a talent show. Teens can even meet Anna Sheehan,
author of the young adult novel, “A Long, Long Sleep,” in person, on Wednesday, July 25, 2 p.m.,
at the Downtown Library.
For a complete schedule of events and to enter the raffle, visit www.eugene-or.gov/library or call the Eugene Public
Library at 541-682-8316.
