Why join GB Libraries’ 2024 Summer “Read, Renew, REPEAT!” Program?
Preventing the “summer slide” is the main objective of summer reading programs. The benefits for children include:
- Children have loads of fun;
- Children are motivated to read;
- Children develop positive attitudes about reading, books, and the library;
- Children maintain their reading skills during summer vacation;
- Children have access to experiences that further their sense of discovery;
- Children have access to experiences through which they can learn to work cooperatively.

Step One: REGISTRATION
Register in person at Ramsdell or Mason Youth circulation desks during regular hours.
Receive a registration pack with: a registration form (return filled at either library), a reading passport, a calendar of events, a reading log, and a reading challenge questionnaire. Participants are encouraged to decorate their reading passports!
Step Two: LOGGING READING
Paper Log: Log your reading on our paper log and bring in your log periodically to Ramsdell or Mason youth circulation desks so we can update your account.
How does the passport work?
They receive a stamp on their passport each time they visit the library.
Step Three: REAP THE REWARDS
Starting July 1, participants will receive a raffle ticket each day they visit the library. They also receive the stamp in their passport.
How To Qualify for The Raffle Tickets?
The raffle is designed to encourage people to visit the library. So, one is received each time they visit the library. When a participant receives a raffle ticket, they fill it out and enter it into the designated jar based on the age groups.
