Summer Reading isn't just for kids, adults can participate and win incentives too. See http://www.metrolibrary.org/summerrea... for more information. Read 20 minutes a day in June and July, and you can be entered into drawings. There are a lot of cool programs going on at OKC libraries this summer, so check it out!
One program that might be of particular interest to this group is the Summer Book Tasting at Almonte Library on Thursday, June 04, 2015 from 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM: During this fun and fast-paced event, you'll have a chance to sample the newest literary delicacies the library has to offer, as well as some unique goodies you may have overlooked. (p.s. You will not be required to actually eat a book.)
I also wanted to let you know about a couple of databases you can use to find what to read next. You can access these from home with your library card.
1.) NoveList Plus: it provides suggested reads and listens across many genres for all ages.
2.) Booklist Online: contains over 100,000 reviews of books and digital media.
Access these and many other databases at http://www.metrolibrary.org/research (Some are in-library use only, but most of them can be accessed from anywhere with your library card.)
Another really cool thing we're doing is Tailored Titles. Every month, we prepare and email newsletters full of titles from over 2 dozen areas of reading interest. See: http://www.metrolibrary.org/dog-eared... to subscribe to the newsletter of your choice.
