June 1 – August 13
WELCOME TO CAMP HIAWATHA
The annual reading tradition at the Carol Stream Public Library.
The theme this year is Find Your Voice. We use our voices to share stories, connect with each other and express ourselves. Our voices include not only the sounds we make, but the words we write, the art we create and the movements we perform. (source: iRead)
CAMP HIAWATHA FAMILY PRIZE DRAWING:
If one adult and a teen or child from their family participate in Camp Hiawatha Summer Reading, you're eligible for our Family Prize Drawing. This year's Family prize is a one-year family membership to the Brookfield Zoo! When an adult registers online for the Adult Summer Reading Program, there will be a check-box that will automatically enter you into the Family Prize Drawing. One entry per parent/child team.
FOR ADULTS:
Read or listen to any book you like and record your books online to earn entries for a prize basket featuring a Kindle Fire. Three winners will be drawn when Camp Hiawatha ends on August 13. Each book you record earns you one entry into the drawing. You can earn a bonus entry by adding a book review! And, stop by the Adult Services Desk to pick up a little surprise just for participating!
