Newport library offers 3 summer reading programs

Designed for book lovers of all ages, three Newport Beach Public

Library Summer Reading Programs will focus on pleasure reading while also

providing opportunities for participants to win prizes and attend special

events this summer.

For the younger crowd, the Wrapped Up in Reading program geared toward

students entering sixth grade and younger, will include both a Readers

Club and a Read-to-Me Club. Under both programs, participants will have

the chance to win toys, paperbacks and fast-food coupons according to

their reading logs. They will also be entered into drawings with prizes

such as T-shirts and passes to the Orange County Fair and the Orange

County Discovery Museum.

Students entering seventh through 12th grades can participate in the

Teen Book Raiders Dig Reading program. It will include free screenings of

popular movies at 7 p.m. every Wednesday at the Central Library. The

screenings will also include complimentary popcorn and is strictly for

teens. Adults may attend only if accompanied by a teen.

The third program, “Peer Amid Books,” is designed for adults and will

take place at Balboa, Corona del Mar and Mariners branch libraries. It

also has opportunities for prizes, such as library video coupons, library

foundation book bags, Newport Theatre Arts Center play tickets and free

admissions to a Manuscripts program.
