SUMMER READING 2010: GoGREEN @ CARY LIBRARY
  • All ages
  • Sign up beginning: June 7
  • Reading ends: August 30
  • Last day to report and choose prizes: September 30
Our goal is to motivate all Lexington children to read by themselves or with their families for at least 15 minutes, every day this summer. Each time a child completes 600 minutes (that’s 10 hours) of reading, he or she may choose a small prize (including paperback books). Download a reading log here.

Animal Angels @ Mass Audubon’s Drumlin Farm

For every 10 hours read, the Friends of Cary Memorial Library will donate 10¢ to help support the animals at Drumlin Farm. You can decide if the donation helps support the farm animals, the resident wildlife, or the bluebird nesting project.

New This Summer: A Drumlin Farm Raffle!

Each participant in our Summer Reading Program will be entered into our end-of-summer raffle for one of three family passes to Drumlin Farm, one of three singing blue-bird stuffed animals, or one of three Drumlin Farm water bottles. Winners will be announced September 30.
