Announcing SPL's First Teen Summer Library Program

2011 Teen Summer Library Program

Sebring Public Library is happy to announce its first teen summer library program. Teens are invited to read for prizes as well as to take part in the special events that will be offered throughout the summer.

How does it work?

Teens who register for the reading program will be given a form to keep track of the hours they spend reading. Reading could mean books, magazines, blogs, newspapers, or even listening to audio books! Once they've completed 40 hours of reading they can bring the form into the library to be verified by a librarian, and their names will be entered in a drawing to win an mp3 player. By completing extra reading teens will be given the chance to have their names entered more than once.

Who may participate?

Teens from 12 to 19 are encouraged to sign up for the reading program. If you are younger than 12 but still want to participate, we also have a children's summer library program. Just ask a librarian for details! Sebring Public Library is also looking for volunteers of all ages who enthusiastic about helping out.

When can I register for the reading program?

Now! You can register at the circulation desk in Sebring Public Library. Alternatively, you can fill out an online registration form on YAccept. Just click the Register Now! link in the upper right of this page.

What about the special events?

Glad you asked! We'll be offering a range of fun events for teens this summer. These events will require separate registration from the reading program, since most will be capped at 15 participants. Registration will be available at Sebring Public Library's circulation desk starting June 1 and will close July 16. If an event is full you will still be able to put your name and phone number on a waiting list in case a spot should open up. 

More details about the special events, recommended reading, and the possibility of earning school credit will be posted soon.
