New! Set your own Reading Goals for Kids

We're challenging all Summer Reading participants to set TWO reading goals for themselves this summer.  Write your goals inside the Read, Renew, Repeat Summer Information Flyer you picked up at registration.
For prereaders, this may include reading a certain number of books together as a family, or visiting a certain number of new libraries.
For readers, this may include reading for a certain number of hours. It's your choice! Each time you meet one of your goals, stop by the Plainville Public Library to pick a prize from our Treasure Box. (Limit two prizes per child over the course of the summer.) Think BIG and challenge yourself! You can do it!

Adults & Teens (13+) Summer Plinko for Prizes

In Person: Play Plinko for a chance at a prize for Adults & Teens (age 13+). Check out an item for yourself from the Plainville Public Library and you get one chance a day. Instant winners could win a free book or puzzle from the Friends of the Library regular priced book sale, a tote bag, or an item of your choice from our Prize Cart. Or earn an entry into our summer long drawing for gift cards from An Unlikely Story, Dunkin and Tasty’s or 2 Showcase Movie Tickets or a Ring Doorbell Camera.  Lucky winners will be chosen on August 15 at 4:00pm.

And we didn't forget - You can set your own reading goals this summer too! Just write your goal on the back of the Adult & Teen Summer Reading flyer and track your reading for your personal fulfillment.
