SIERRA MADRE LIBRARY 

SUMMER READING PROGRAM

“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.

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)
