Game On! NTR.08, the Norwalk
Public Library’s 2008 summer reading game for teens, kicks off Monday, June
23, runs until Thursday, August 20, and is open to Norwalk residents
entering grades 6 through 12.
Teens can participate in a variety of activities over
the summer:
1.
Read. Submit book reviews of
the books they’ve read. Every Saturday we’ll randomly select a review and
hand out a prize. The more reviews submitted, the better the chance of
winning. Reviews can be dropped in the box provided on the shelves near the
teen room.
2.
Boggle Your Mind. Every week
there will be a new bulletin board of scrambled letters. As with the
traditional game, the object is to find as many words as possible, and the
person with the most words wins. Answer sheets can be dropped in the box
next to the bulletin board.
3.
Read Away Your Fines. July
14-19. All week long teens can read away up to $10 in overdue fines on their
cards.
