The San Bernardino Public Library will hold their annual summer reading program from June 2 through July 28, 2018. This year’s summer reading theme is “Reading Takes You Everywhere”. Children, teens, and adults are all able to participate to win prizes.
Children and Teens will earn prizes by keeping track of minutes read, activities completed, and library events that they attended. Adults will be entered into drawings each time they visit the library and check out books and will also receive extra entries for attending library programs. The grand prize drawings will take place at each library branch after July 28.
