Going Places with Booker Bee Summer Reading!
Starting Monday, June 9, you can join our 2008 summer reading club. To get started, stop by the circulation desk to pick up your very own “Going Places with Booker Bee” summer reading booklet!
You will find that each page of our “Going Places” booklet suggests reading a book from a different region of our wonderful nation — New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Southwest, Midwest and Far West.
You can read ANY book, fiction or non-fiction, as long as they are related to these regions!
- A romance in New Orleans (southeast)
- Go sleepless with a mystery in Boston (New England),
- Feel the power in a book about the Mount St. Helens volcano or the 1906 San Francisco earthquake (west).
- Read about the Navajo nation (southwest).
Write the title on each the appropriate regional page and have the folks at the front desk stamp it with our Booker Bee stamp.
The prizes!
With each region you read, you get an entry into our grand prize drawing!
- Read through two regions and win a free book!
- Explore four regions and receive a free pass from the Ohio Theatre.
- Navigate through all six regions and you get to draw a surprise gift from our travel bags.
- Revisit each of the six regions for additional chances to win (maximum 12 chances).
This year we have several grand prizes including…
- a print from our beautiful historical photo collection River to Rail.
- beautifully painted gourd art
- a work from Mudcat Pottery.
- A basket full of travel related gifts.
For reading suggestions, talk with our librarians or visit our Summer Reading Central website.
The last books will be accepted through closing on Friday, July 31.
Prizes will be drawn on Monday, Aug. 4. Need not be present to win.

Yeah! I can hardly wait for summer reading to start. Even though I work at the library and can’t win prizes, I love interacting with you who are reading and perhaps recommending my favorite reads to you.
