How Do We Sign Up?
It's easy! You simply fill out the registration forms and start reading. Participants are free to read which ever books they choose from as many categories as you would like. You can read them independently, or you can all read them together as a family.
If you read at least five books in a category you will get to vote for your favourite book at our final party.
For each book read, you will get to add your name to the Forest of Reading Tree and enter your name in our grand prize draw.
How Can We Learn More?
To learn more, you can also visit the Forest of Reading Website, here.
You can also drop by the library and ask us! We love to talk about the program, and would love to show you the amazing books that were selected for this year!
