    Goodall Library is now registering for its Summer 2013 Reading Club, “Books & Pets: Friends for Life.” This is a free, fun and non-competitive program open to children ages 13 and younger. Children of all abilities are welcome. Throughout the summer, there will be opportunities to win free books, art and school supplies and other fun things. There will also be lots of activities to choose from, including weekly coloring contests and drawing contests, story times on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, a Chewonki program about endangered animals, crafts and more. Children get to choose the books they want to read at their own individual age reading level, according to their own situation. They can read whenever and wherever they want. When children register, they will receive a packet of information that will help them have a fun time reading this summer.
    Goodall Library’s 3rd annual Adult Summer Reading Program is now under way. Adults, young adults and audiobook listeners are all welcome to join. The theme for this year is “Books & Movies,” entertainment at its best. Earn one point for each book you read from the library’s list of “Sanford Suggestions” or read any book of your choice; write a short description of your favorites. Your recommendation may be used in an upcoming edition of “Sanford Suggestions,” the library’s publication of patron and staff favorites. For each point you earn, you will get one ticket placed in the jar on the library’s counter. A winning ticket will be drawn from the jar on Friday, Aug. 23, and the winner will receive the Sanford Readers Basket, which will include two books and corresponding DVDs, popcorn and candy, and a $25 Amazon gift certificate.
