Adult Summer Reading Teams

If you have signed up for the adult summer reading program this year, you know that participants are divided up into two competing teams to see which team will read the most books over the summer.  The two teams are Team Curie and Team Einstein.  Have you signed up yet for summer reading?  It isn't too late!  Go to your branch and ask to sign up and you will receive a Literary Elements log.

Each box on the log lists an "element" and has an activity that must be completed to finish that particular element.  For example, you might be asked to read a new book, or search one of our library databases, or like our Facebook page.  Most of the "elements" entail reading different genres and it gives you the opportunity to branch out from what you might usually read.  When you finish an element, fill out a review with your name and phone number at the bottom to submit for the grand prize.

This year we are giving away either a $100 gift card or an e-reader, your choice should you win!  The more reviews you fill out the more chances you have to win.  Of course, to finish the summer reading you need only complete six elements but you are welcome to complete the entire log.  In addition, contestants are divided up into teams to make it even more exciting.  The team that reads and fills out the most reviews can claim victory!  During the first two weeks, Team Einstein was ahead but this week Team Curie came up from behind and now has a decisive lead.  Full disclosure, I am on Team Einstein and I have to ask my fellow team members, are we going to let Team Curie walk away and win this contest without a fight?  Well whatever team you are on get busy reading and submitting your reviews and enjoy all the elements that make up our summer reading program this year!
