Guidelines for the summer reading challenge!

Basic challenge guidelines:
· Choose ten different genres to sample. You may choose from those on the sheet in the packets or pick something we haven’t thought of. Just be sure to choose ten different types of literature.
· Read a minimum of 15 pages of each genre. (But you can go for 600 pages if you like!) This can be easily fulfilled with any combination you like of essays, short stories or magazine articles or you can certainly read an entire book if you choose.
· If you choose to include your favorite genre, try a different author. Your choice must be in some way new to you.
· You do not have to choose materials from the library collection. Friends or the public library are also great places to find something new.
· Stoxen library staff will also be putting up regularly changing displays featuring materials of the different genre types on the enclosed list.
· Keep track of your reading on the reading log from the packet.
· Turn in your log by August 14th to be eligible for prize drawings.
· Special prize for the one who reads the most pages!

In addition to the drawings, all challenge participants, who turn in their reading log by August 14th will receive:
· A complimentary beverage certificate to the Common Grounds Coffee Bar
· Your own personal read poster (see the end of our book stacks for samples featuring our students and staff)

Advanced challenge: There will be a special prize drawing for anyone who would choose to try all of the genres on the enclosed list!
