Help us improve our services! Click here to access our 2013 Joint Library Survey online. We want to hear from as many community members as possible, even if you aren't a current library user.

At milestones of 250, 500, 750 books they receive incentive prizes upon turning in their reading records. At program completion they receive a special gift and a certificate.
