Starting June 23, 2007, everyone from 2 to 102 years can register for a summer reading program and earn rewards, as well as the opportunity to win other great prizes. The Buena Park Library District, located at 7150 La Palma Avenue in Buena Park, between Knott and Western Avenues, will also be offering programs for all ages.

Come by and take a sneak peek at the programs and incentives being offered this summer, too! On display in the Library’s lobby are some of our 2007 Summer Reading Club "enticements" to encourage children, teens and adults to read like crazy all summer long.

The theme for children ages 2-12 is Get a Clue @ the Buena Park Library for children ages 2-12, with special programs every Monday night. You Never Know @ the Buena Park Library is the teen program, for ages 13 through 12th grade, which gives teens opportunities to participate in game and dance tournaments. The Adult Summer Reading program celebrates its second year with Find It @ the Buena Park Library, and participants will have a chance to win one of many great incentive baskets.

Programs and prizes are being offered through the generous donations of the Volunteer Guild of the Buena Park Library and many in the Buena Park business community. A complete list of sponsors can be found at the Library.

Stop by the Buena Park Library and take a look at what’s in store this summer.
