Reading = Fun and Games at Shaker Library
Monday June 07, 2010 - Saturday July 31, 2010
9:00 AM - 9:00 PM
Main Library and Bertram Woods Branch

Shaker Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program features fun weekly games and brainteasers.

Join the reading program, and along with the joy of reading, pick up a game or puzzle each week, complete it, and it becomes your entry for weekly prize drawings. New games are available each week at the Information desks. Homebound? Download our Week 1 Hidden Author Puzzle, our Week 2 Famous First Lines Puzzle, our Week 3 Book Titles: Real or Fake, and our Week 4 Fictional Character Anagrams.

Help us solve the world’s largest crossword puzzle! Visit Main Library, check out a book, audiobook, or movie, and help us complete the world’s largest crossword puzzle, which has 28,000 clues and more than 91,000 squares.

Don’t want to playgames?  Reading is its own reward. Read a book, receive a gift, and complete an entry for the grand prize drawing at the end of the summer. 

There is no limit to the number of entries for the grand prize; but only one entry is allowed for weekly drawings.
