Get ready for the summer's best game! Our Summer Game officially begins this Friday, June 13.

Sign up to play; it is truly an all-ages program. Participants collect points by reading books, watching movies, visiting the library, and attending events. Points can then be redeemed for cool prizes.

We will also be hosting a kick-off party at TOP on Sunday, June 15, 7 pm at Rackham Stage with The Dirty Sock Funtime Band.

Does anyone know, as an adult, do I need to connect the paper game to my account here to get the points for the summer reading things? I did it the last two years, but it seems different this year.

@ SBNB -- when you're in your account look in the upper right corner and find "edit player information" - once in there you can put in the UNIQUE # from your game card in the spot marked "Summer Game Card #" - this will match your records up.
