Teen and Adult Summer Reading Program

High school students and adult Oak Lawn residents are invited to enroll in the Oak Lawn Public Library’s annual summer reading program.  Registration begins Tuesday, May 31, and continues through Thursday, June 30, at the first floor Help Desk.

High school students who live in Oak Lawn or attend an Oak Lawn school can join the “You Are Here” program and keep track of how much time they spend reading.  A special “half-way prize” will be awarded at 15 hours and another is given out when they reach the final goal of 30 hours by the program’s end on Saturday, July 30.

Adults can sign up for the “Novel Destinations” program and earn a special “half-way prize” after reading 20 hours, followed by another when they reach the final goal of 40 hours before the program ends on Saturday, July 30.

All high school and adult reading club members who reach their final goal will be entered into an end-of-summer drawing where they might win one of the e-reader grand prizes or some other fabulous prize. 

During July, the library will offer several free activities and events for teens and adults, including a photography contest, a travelogue about the 5,000 mile “Silk Road” from China to Turkey, a program about volunteering, book discussions and an Irish music concert.
