"Be Creative" Program Rules

Catrow Spot 5.jpg

The “Be Creative” Summer Reading Program is open to all children ages 4-12 who have a Rainbow City Public Library card in good standing. Children who do not meet the requirements for a free library card may be issued a library card by paying a $10.00 out-of-county fee. This fee is due on an annual basis. To participate in the program, you must fill out the Summer Reading Program Application and return it to the library by Tuesday, June 30th.

Record the library books you read on your “Be Creative @ Your Library” reading log BEFORE you return your books to the library. You
may list the title, an abbreviated title, or the library barcode number of the book you have read. Books must be read between May 11th and July 15th. Only books checked out from Rainbow City Public Library will be counted. Audiobooks may not be counted.

You will earn a free t-shirt and be invited to attend the Summer Reading Program Party on July 29th provided you read at least 15 library books and return your completed reading log listing at least 15 books by 7:00 pm on Wednesday, July 15th. This deadline is necessary so the T-shirts will arrive in time for the party.

If you fail to turn in your reading log by 7:00pm on Wednesday, July 15th, or fail to list at least 15 books on your reading log, you will not receive a T-shirt.

Your reading log must be returned to the designated “Reading Log” box. Do not return your completed reading log in the book drop or to the library staff.

If you are unable to pick up your T-shirt at the party, please pick it up as soon as possible. T-shirts will not be given out prior to the parties. T-shirts that are not picked up by September 30, 2009 will be forfeited.
