JOIN IN THE ADVENTURES THIS SUMMER AT THE NORFOLK PUBLIC LIBRARY
2007 Summer Reading Club Program @ NPL: June 18-August 25

Norfolk, Va. (May 30, 2007) - This summer, follow the trail to your local Norfolk Public Library branch to participate in our 2007 Summer Reading Club from June 18-August 25. The library will offer over 150 FREE summer programs for the entire family to enjoy, as well as a summer reading club with fun and exciting prizes and incentives!

Every summer the Norfolk Public Library (NPL) becomes the focal point for many children looking for programs and activities to keep themselves busy during their summer days. This year's theme, TJ Reader's Virginia Trails, encourages youth to travel back in time to learn about historical events as well as explore areas of Virginia they may have never seen. Youth can join the summer reading club and earn weekly incentives and free prizes. To participate in the summer reading club, follow these simple steps:

1. Register! Begin the adventure by visiting any of the thirteen Norfolk Public Library locations (including the Bookmobile) to sign up any time between June 18th through August 25th.
2. Read, read, read! Every time you visit the library during the Summer Reading Club, we will record the amount of time that you've read, and you'll put your name on our "wall of readers."
3. Earn fun prizes! Each week you'll receive a small prize as well as the opportunity to win a fantastic weekly prize. Plus, each branch will reward one lucky reader with a cool grand prize at the end of the summer.

All library programs are free and open to the public.
