Summer Reading @ CADL
June 18, 2009
The Capital Area District Library’s Summer Reading Program is in full swing, and adults are encouraged to sign up at any of the 13 library locations. When you sign up, you’ll receive a reading log so you can keep track of your reading time, earning fun prizes along the way.
If you are looking for reading recommendations, be sure to check out Off the Shelf where Sarah, our Adult Selection Specialist, suggests books that will linger in your mind. And if you are on Twitter, follow @cadl to get Sarah’s Suggestions and our Reference Librarian’s New NonFiction tweets.
There are also several programs for adults this summer as well. Below are just a few. For a complete list of summer programs and events, check out our Summer Program Guide.
