The Lincoln County Reads Adult Summer Library Program is again underway at T.B. Scott Free Library, where you can win prizes just for reading. Last year, 61 of 178 contest entrants won prizes, chosen from a record 739 entries.
For the tenth consecutive year, T.B. Scott Library and Tomahawk Public Library co-sponsor Lincoln County Reads from May 26 through Aug. 27 to encourage and reward reading by adults. This year’s Adult Summer Library Program theme is “Escape the Ordinary.”
Entering is easy. If you’re at least age 18, just read or listen to any book, fiction or nonfiction, as a print book, ebook, or audiobook. On an Escape the Ordinary entry form (available at the library), write down titles of five books you’ve experienced, and drop it in an entry box at the library. Enter up to 50 times.
Winners in three regular prize drawings, on June 26, July 24, and Aug. 14, will be announced on WJMT 730AM The Patriot’s Our Town program at 8:45 a.m., and notified by phone. Each reader may win in a regular drawing once per contest.
Hardee’s, Johnson Gifts & Home Décor, Hugo’s Pizza, Young’s Drug Store, Culver’s, Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe, Family Chiropractic Clinic, Les & Jim’s Lincoln Lanes, Auto Jockeys, and the Friends of T.B. Scott Library have generously donated contest prizes.
New this summer, every entrant gets a gift card for five free cups of coffee from The Goblin Workshop Coffee Shop and Tabletop Gaming Guild. Pick up gift cards at the entry box in the library’s lower level.
All entries are eligible for the Grand Prize drawing to win a basket of prizes from contest sponsors, to be broadcast live on WJMT 730AM The Patriot’s Our Town program at 8:45 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 28.
Why reading contests? Reading can be useful and/or enjoyable—but reading is also critical to developing an informed and involved citizenry. The library is proud to sponsor reading contests to encourage and reward reading by all ages.
