The Contra Costa Library system has several summer reading programs from June 8 to August 17. You can join online and compete to win prizes.<\/p>\n
If you’re at least 18 or have graduated from high school, you can join the adult summer reading program<\/a>. The county-wide prizes include a one-night stay at the Renaissance ClubSport Hotel Walnut Creek for one winner and a dinner for two at Stanford\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Restaurant and Bar Walnut Creek for another winner. Each library and the website will give another winner “a book lover’s bag filled with goodies.”<\/p>\n If you’re in 6th-12th grade, you can sign up for the Teens Read summer program<\/a>. It sounds like some prizes are available starting at just 20 hours, and you can use just 6 words to tell them about the books you’ve read. Prizes include pizza coupons, paperbacks, and a grand prize drawing for a Wii.<\/p>\n By the way, audio books count too!<\/p>\n If you have kids or younger brothers and sisters, check out the programs for kids ages two-5th grade<\/a> and even birth-24 months<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you live or work in another county, there are lots of other programs–for example, the Alameda County system has several programs this summer, including a weekly drawing for adults who read books related to the Bay Area or by Bay Area authors. You might as well try to win a prize!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Contra Costa Library system has several summer reading programs from June 8 to August 17.
