Well, that's all over. We are dedicated to making summer awesome again! At Moore Memorial Public Library we want to be YOUR summer hot spot! We have our year long awesomeness of our wonderful collection of books, magazines, movies, graphic novels, manga, documentaries, TV series, audio books, electronic resources, and more. Not only do we have all these amazing resources, but you can use them (with the exception of DVDs) to fill up a Teen Summer Reading Log to enter into our prize drawing.
Summer Reading
Starting June 10th, come by the library and pick up a reading log. Then keep track of the amount of time you spend reading on your reading log. For every 10 hours of reading that you record on your reading log, you’ll receive one entry in our drawing for an AWESOME prize. Earn additional entries for every 10 hours you read. OR you can complete the Seven Library Labors on the back of the reading log! You can even do both to double your chances to win! All reading logs are due at the Library Reference Desk by August 16th no later than 5 PM.But in addition to all this great stuff to read, watch, listen to, enjoy, etc. we also have great summer programs!
