EAST LIVERPOOL – Registration for the East Liverpool Carnegie Public Library’s Summer Reading Club begins today.

The Summer Reading Club, which runs through July 31, is open to all people who use the library in East Liverpool, with most club members typically being early childhood and school aged children.

The Summer Reading Program will feature family programs which will be hosted every Wednesdays at 10 a.m. at the Salvation Army. Programs typically last one hour with guest librarians or special events and door prizes each week.

There is also a coupon game (library trivia) in the children’s room at the library where children can pick up a paper with a question and submit their answers for a prize drawing to be held on Wednesday.

Achievement rewards/prizes are given to each club member who completes and turns in their summer reading log and reading challenge. The last day to turn these in is July 31.

Summer Reading Club members will also receive a small prize or coupon from a local business every five days they read.

Small prizes/candy drawings will be held weekly during the family program for Summer Reading Club members who write their name and phone number down on the back of their check out slips when checking out books.
