Adult Summer Reading 2022

Adult Summer Reading Challenge at Adamstown Area Library

July 1 – Aug 31, 2022 

Every Book Is A Chance To Win! 

Adults (18+) are invited to join us as we explore Oceans of Possibilities with a summer reading challenge.

For each book you read this summer, fill out an entry form and place it in the collection jar at the circulation desk. That’s it! No registration required, no minimum or maximum number of books (Yes, eBooks and audiobooks count!). For each entry, you have a chance to win weekly prize drawings as well as a grand prize at the end of the summer. Pick up entry forms at the library or print the entry forms here.

Every week throughout the summer, staff will randomly draw one winning entry. Weekly winners will have the opportunity to choose a book from our selection of Advance Reading Copies (ARCs) of new and upcoming books, many of which are not available on shelves yet!  We’ll also choose three random winners for one $20 gift card to Courtyard Cafe, one $25 gift card to Kyma, and one $50 mystery gift card!

Need help finding something to read? We’re here to help you! Ask at the circulation desk for a recommendation or check out our online resources to find that perfect book.
