The Mill Valley Public Library is offering a summer reading program for high school students called Choose Your Own Adventure. Every book read results in a stamp in the provided “passport” and a ticket for a raffle drawing on August 18.
“I know that [students] are told what to read most of the year,” young adult librarian Katie MacBride said.“So I want to encourage the people who like reading to read, and make it fun and involve the library without making it be a thing where now someone else is telling you what to read again.”
Students are also excited with the direction the program is taking this year. “It’s a cool program and [the library has] definitely improved their summer reading programs,” said sophomore Tiara Mead, who participated in the program last year.
Prizes for the raffle include a Kindle Fire and gift certificates to local businesses.
MacBride is also available to create personalized reading lists by appointment. Visit www.millvalleylibrary.org for more information.
