2008 Summer Reading Program at the
San Rafael Public Library
Our 2008 Summer Reading Program begins on Friday, June 13th. The program ends on Friday, August 15th.
Summer Entertainment! Throughout the summer there will be special programs for preschool and school-age children.
Ahoy! What is it?
A free reading incentive program co-sponsored by the San Rafael Public Library and the Friends of San Rafael Library. Children read during the summer months and earn prizes.
Who can join?

How does the program work?
Mateys keep track of their summer reading on a reading log. Reading does not have to be done in the library, but when and wherever it is convenient. After reaching certain goals, mateys bring their reading log into the library to collect treasure.
