To prevent summer reading loss, read at least 3 books during your vacation and get a chance to win FREE BOOKS of your
choice from the 2015 Fall Book Fair! Drawings will be held for 4 free book vouchers (valued at $50, $25, $15 & $10).
Here’s how to play: This summer, read a chapter or picture book from three of the different genres below to
create a tic-tac-toe. Complete the squares by writing the title and author of the book you read in that genre and include
your parent’s signature. The three genres you choose must be in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). You may
complete more than one tic-tac-toe. For every tic-tac-toe you complete, you get one more chance to win! For each
completed tic-tac-toe that includes a challenge star (activity to be completed on the back), you will be eligible for another
chance to win! If you can’t find a good book, we’d love to help you. The library will be open every Monday this summer
from 10am to noon (except Monday, July 6th and 13th). Keep reading and have a GREAT Summer! 
Please return completed tic-tac-toe sheets to Mrs. Snyder in the library by Monday, August 31st, 2015
