Kids and teens can sign up at the Clarksville Branch desk or at the Youth Services desk at the Main Library to get their first Reading Log. You can read (or be read to) different types of books (including ebooks and audiobooks!) to get points and once you reach 10 points, you can turn your Reading Log in and get your prizes! Check out our Summer Reading Club page for more details.

Grown ups can join our Adult Summer Reading Club at the Clarksville Branch main desk or at the Reference desk at the Main Library and receive your first Reading Log. All you have to do is read 3 books (including ebooks and audiobooks!), write a short review or description of each one, and turn it in to get your prize! Your Reading Log will also be an entry for the weekly and grand prize drawings, so turn in as many reading logs as you want to increase your odds of winning another prize! You can see a list of the prizes on our Summer Reading Club page.

Both Summer Reading Clubs end on Monday, August 1st: that means that’s the last day you have to turn in your Reading Logs! So get ready, get set, and get reading!

Summer Reading Club ends soon!
