Library to Offer Summer Reading Program for Adults (Why should kids have all the fun?)
Beginning July 1, and running through the end of August, the Talbot County Free Library will offer a Summer Reading Program for adults. Kids enjoy summer reading and prizes—and now adults can too! Each time a patron reads a book and turns in a complete (brief) book review form to the library, they will be entered in the drawing for a $50.00 gift card. Patrons may enter as often as they like. All library programs are free and open to the public. Patrons do not need to pre-register to participate in this program. For more information, please call the library at 410-822-1626, or visit www.tcfl.org.
