More than Books at the Library
Teens in Cherokee County can get ready for a fun and social summer at their library. That’s right: social. Summer reading is more than just reading. It’s about connecting to people and the community around you. Why should your teen participate? Teens who take part tend to perform better academically and achieve greater academic gains than those who don’t.
There are several options this year. Teens can visit their local library to pick up a teen game board rather than a reading log. This game board (kind of like a bingo card) gives teens a series of activities to complete, from reading challenges to random acts of kindness. The first BINGO earns each teen a free food coupon from the library system’s sponsor and an entry to win grand prizes. More chances to win come with each BINGO completed. Rewards encourage teens to keep reading and try new activities throughout the summer.
Another way for teens to engage this summer is to attend a teen program to learn new skills, relax, have fun and meet new friends from around the county. All programs are for teens going into grades 6-12, and are free, with or without a library card.
