How do I win prizes?
Prize raffles happen every Monday. We will randomly select 3 winners who logged that week.
Every 60 minutes or 50 pages logged = 1 raffle entry. Log your reading weekly to increase your chances of winning. We will give you raffle entries based on whichever total is bigger, either pages or minutes, but not both.
Read at least 500 pages or 600 minutes by August 16 to be invited to the Teen Summer Reading Party on August 25 & get the chance to win even bigger prizes like a Kindle Fire Tablet.
The more you read, the better your chances to win BIG.

How will I know if I won a prize raffle?
You will receive an email or phone call if you win a prize raffle. Then you can pick up your prize at the Library's Information Desk. Raffles run every Monday. We give away 3 prize packages every week. Log your reading every week to be entered!
I live closer to the Roslyn Branch Library. Can I still participate?
Yes, Roslyn Branch Library patrons can do the Teen Summer Reading Challenge. If you win a prize, we can send your prize to Roslyn if that's easier for you. Just ask us!
What if I can't come to the Teen Summer Reading Party? I still want a chance to win the grand prizes!
If you get an invitation but can't make it to the party, please contact us. We will add you to the prize raffle in your absence so you still have a chance to win prizes.
How can you tell that I actually read the books?
You have to give a short review of what you've read. Write a short summary and your opinion so far (2-4 sentences). If you write, "It was good," you will not receive credit for that entry.
I have more questions that you didn't answer!
Contact Lindsay Cummings, Young Adult Librarian, and she will answer all your burning questions!
