is excited to announce the 2008 Summer Reading Program "Get in the Game - READ"

the RFPL team and play our summer reading game. A
Rookie Reader can sign up to read
with a parent or older sibling; an independent reader can join our
All Star team. You’ll receive a game

a book every other week and there will be a weekly raffle drawing for those who
turn in a scorecard. Every player who completes a scorecard for all 6 weeks of
Get in the Game- READ will receive a special prize.
