Free Summer Reading Program for Teens May 27 – July 26

Teens can win exciting prizes by participating in Phoenix Public Library’s summer reading program, “Read Your Own Way,” May 27 – July 26.

Teens between 12 and 18 can register for the program at any of the city’s 15 libraries. The program is designed to keep teens reading during the summer and features weekly prize drawings and a grand-prize drawing for a video MP3 player.

Teens who finish the program get a free ticket to a VIP wrap-up party and a chance to win a guest DJ spot on 95.1 FM Latino Vibe. Last year, more than 10,000 teens participated in the program.

Teens are invited to attend a free kick-off event from 3 to 5 p.m. June 5 at Cesar Chavez Library, 3635 W. Baseline Road.

The “Read Your Own Way” program is sponsored by Wendy’s, Harkins Theatres and 95.1 FM, with additional support from Friends of the Phoenix Public Library, State Farm Insurance, zpizza, Sonic, Chick-fil-A, Whataburger, Safeway, Basha’s and AJ’s Fine Foods.

Phoenix Public Library is a system of 14 branch libraries and the Burton Barr Central Library. For more information, call 602-262-4636 or visit phoenixpubliclibrary.org.
