When a child that is too young to read is read to they accumulate points too! Example: School aged child reads aloud to a toddler. (If you can read you must be the reader to accumulate the points on your reading record. Example: School aged reading aloud to another school aged child. The reader can accumulate points but the listener does not.) • Youth who have disciplinary action from the city council such as being trespassed from the city park or community services due to vandalism at any time during the duration of the program, June 12th-August 17th, will be ineligible to win the grand prize.

The youth with the most program points at the closing of the library on August 17th at 6:00p.m.will be announced and awarded the grand prize on August 26th in the park at the Community Potluck.

Find the Flagger
A weekly hide-and-seek game that begin June 12th, 2017 How to play: A construction flagger has been lost in the city of Adams and help is needed to find it! It is a tiny, flat flagger that looks just like the one here. The flagger will be hidden somewhere in the City of Adams every Monday. At the opening of the library on Monday a clue will be placed in the bulletin board in the park. If it is not found on Monday a new clue will be added to the bulletin board in the park at the opening of the library on Tuesday. If it is not found on Tuesday a new clue will be added to the bulletin board in the park at the opening of the library on Wednesday. If it is not found on Wednesday a new clue will be added to the bulletin board at the opening of the library on Thursday. If the flagger is not found by the closing of the library on Thursday, it will be retrieved and the game will start over the next Monday. The librarian will not give anyone additional clues. If the flagger is found it should be brought to the library during open hours to redeem your prize of 2 full size candy bars, a gift card worth $18 (2 tickets) for Wildhorse Cinemas and receive your 10 points for your Summer Reading Program score kept on the librarian computer. Once the flagger is found and turned in, a notice that it was found will be placed in the bulletin board and the game is over for the week. It will only be hidden once a week. Your parents can help, you can work as a group or find it in your own! The flagger will always be in a public place. It will never be on private property, at the post office, near the creek, in flower beds or higher than 4 feet off the ground. Search the Library Inventory |
