Hey e-book readers! >>
Did you know that you can log your e-books and e-audiobooks to earn points in the Summer Reading Program? You can! You can also collect Secret Codes throughout the summer--on the hiding bear in the Children's department, on front desk checkout receipts, and on the Book Walk outside--which will earn you additional raffle chances in our end-of-summer prize drawings. And here's a secret: you can collect a code right here (good for the month of June) in this newsletter, as well. That code?
Nebula.
This way, if you ONLY read/listen to digital books--or if you just don't come into the Library that often--you can still enter secret codes to earn more prize-drawing chances. Questions? Let us know! And don't forget to check your July newsletter for next month's Secret Code. Happy reading in the meantime! >>
