Adults, age 20 and up can participate by signing up to read or listen to as few as five or as many books as you think you’ll complete during the eight weeks the program will run (from June 19 to August 14).     There will be random prize drawings for gift certificates from local businesses throughout the summer and a celebration at the end of the program. Sign up online here.

Thank you to local businesses who have donated prizes:

  • Kitty Smith Designs (22 Lindsey Street)
    • The Store (435 Main Street)
    • Skin Klinic and Day Spa (20 Summer Street)
    • The Wine Seller (15 Tillson Avenue)






      Attention Teen Readers: You can win an iPod

      All you have to do to have your name entered into the prize drawing is sign up for the Make Waves: Teen Summer Reading Program and log two books. The library will hold the prize drawing on August 14.
