lockportlegend.com news the lockport legend | May 23, 2019 | 9 Library Summer Reading Challenge about to heat up Submitted by the White Oak Library District The White Oak Library District’s annual Summer Reading Challenge, Read Under the Stars, is to run from May 28 through July 12. Readers (and prereaders) of all ages from children to seniors can win prizes just for reading. And, to add to the event this year, three prizes are being offered just for signing up. An annual family membership to Brookfield Zoo is to be given away to three readers — one from Crest Hill, one from Lockport, and one from Romeoville — who get moving on their Summer Reading by June 8. Those interested can sign up online at www. whiteoaklibrary.org/ Summer-Reading-Chal lenge or in person at the Crest Hill, Lockport, and Romeoville branch libraries starting Tuesday, May 28. Those interested in participating can also sign up at one of the Summer Reading Kick-Off parties, which are held at each branch library. The Romeoville Branch is to kick things off at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 28, and the Crest Hill Branch will follow suit at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 29, with camp-out fun and s’mores. On May 30, Lockport is to offer its annual ice cream social and a commemorative family photo from 5:30-7 p.m. As usual, these activities are free of charge and open to the public. Registration is encouraged. The Summer Reading Challenge does not end there, though. Registration, check-ins, programs and prize opportunities are going strong through July 12. Prize baskets for adults, teens and children are to be awarded. They are filled with great items including gift cards, many of which have been donated by local businesses including Coom’s Corner, Sizzles, Taco Patio and Tropical Smoothie. For a complete list, visit www. whiteoaklibrary.org. Those interested can also stop in the library any time it is open and ask how they can participate in Read Under the Stars and win some prizes. Children and teens who complete the challenge are to be invited to the Finale Party, which is to feature a petting zoo, free hot dog lunch, Kona Ice, games and a rocket launch. If teen participants reach their cumulative goal of 2,400 hours of reading, their party is to include all of the above plus a whole lot of extras including three teens who will be chosen to pie a librarian in the face. The Finale Party is made possible by donations from the library’s gold sponsor, NuMark Credit Union of Crest Hill, its silver sponsor, Lockport Woman’s Club, and its bronze sponsor, Willow Falls Homeowners Association. New this year is a grand prize that is being offered to one winner in the library district. The winner (who could be an adult, teen or child) will need to complete the challenge in order to enter to win one of the following prizes: a telescope, camping gear, or annual family memberships to both the Adler Planetarium and the Museum of Science and Industry. For more information, contact the branch managers: Amy Byrne at Crest Hill (abryne@whiteoak library.org), Pat Jarog at Lockport (pjarog@whiteoaklibrary.org) and Beverly Krakovec at Romeoville (bkrakovec@whiteoakli brary.org).
