Summer is officially underway and so is the Summer Reading Club at the library! The theme for the adults this year is Novel Destinations, so in celebration of this year’s theme we are showing travel destination movies every Wednesday afternoon at 3 PM. The movies will be a combination of English speaking films and non-English, subtitled films. On June 29th we will be showing Roman Holiday starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. This film was shot entirely in Rome and shows all the highlights of the city so you’ll leave the movie feeling like you’ve just returned from an adventurous vacation.
If you’ve never taken part in our Summer Reading Club, here’s how it works. First, you’ll need to sign up for the club with your library card at the circulation desk. Don’t have a library card? No problem. It only takes minutes to be issued a new card; you just need to bring proof of residency (driver’s license, utility bill, etc.) for Aberdeen or Matawan. When you sign up for the reading club you will be assigned a number and you’ll receive a colorful book bag to tote around your library books. Each time you return a book or audiobook you will be given a ticket for the weekly raffle. Write your assigned number on the ticket, drop it into the jar, and every Monday we will draw a ticket and the winner will receive a fun prize. Above is a picture of this week’s prize which will be drawn on June 27th. Traditionally we begin Summer Reading by giving away a camping chair and pail filled with beach books. There is also a travel mug and gift certificate to Shop and Shop so you can stock up on your way to the beach.
Enjoy your summer and check the blog each week to see the next raffle prize!
