SUMMER READING PROGRAMS

“Dream Big - Read!” is the theme for Sierra Madre’s eight-week 
2012 Summer Reading Program, which runs from Monday, June 18 
through Saturday, August 11. There are programs for all age groups, 
including adults. Come in and register any time during this period and 
win prizes along the way.

 In the children’s program, each child will receive a reading log, bookmark, 
and a theme-related book bag at registration. Age-appropriate 
books, read at home, are recorded on the log, and a prize is awarded 
after the weekly reading requirement is met. Children may enter one 
of these divisions: Night Owl, for our very youngest patrons who do 
not yet read on their own; Dreamer, for school-age readers in Grades 
1 – 6; Challenger, the most demanding division, for children in Grades 
2 – 6, in which 35 hours of reading must be completed in eight weeks.

 “Own the Night” is the special theme for the teen division of the program. 
Participants read eight books by the end of the program and 
earn prizes for every two books read.

 Library patrons 18 years of age and up are invited to join the Summer 
Reading Program for Adults. Participants will automatically be 
entered into the Grand Prize Drawing once they have submitted their 
first title read (book, eBook or audiobook) to Library staff. There will 
be weekly drawings for all participants with increased chances to win 
per number of books read. A book bag gift set will be given to the first 
40 registrants. Drop by the Library for information on the program 
rules and guidelines.

 Teen volunteers in Grades 7 and up are needed to help with the Summer 
Reading Program. Volunteers work at least two hours per week 
for eight weeks, helping with the program and performing other light 
tasks during their shifts. Sign up at the Library between now and June 
18. This is a great way to fulfill community service hours and meet 
new friends.

 The Summer Reading Program is supported by the Friends of the Library 
and the Sierra Madre Firefighters Association; the Sierra Madre 
Kiwanis Club sponsors the Children’s Challenger Division.

 The California Summer Reading Program is a project of the California 
Library Association, supported by the U.S. Institute of Museum 
and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and 
Technology Act, a federal grant program administered in California 
by the State Librarian. 

 For more information, please contact Sierra Madre Public Library 
Youth Services Librarian, Meegan Tosh, at (626) 355-7186 or mtosh@
cityofsierramadre.com. The Library is located at 440 W. Sierra Madre 
Blvd., in Sierra Madre. www.sierramadre.lib.ca.us. 


1630 AM

Free on-air publicity for local events

 Sierra Madre’s new community radio station is now accepting scripts 
for Public Service Announcements (PSAs) about community events. 
PSAs will be broadcast on the air at no charge. The station operates 
24/7 and can be heard at 1630 on the AM dial.

 Any local non-profit or non-commercial organization can have 
their event information broadcast to the public on Sierra Madre 
Community Information Radio. This new radio station covers the city 
of Sierra Madre, plus surrounding areas of Pasadena, Arcadia, and 
Monrovia. 

In a nutshell, your event must:

• Benefit a non-commercial or non-profit entity
• Be open to the public
• Be of general interest to local citizens


Just 
write a Public Service Announcement that describes your 
event and e-mail it to radio@cityofsierramadre.com.
