ADULT SUMMER CHALLENGE
River Reads is Ouachita Parish Public Library’s summer reading program for adults that encourages all area residents to read the
same book, and then participate in dialogue, discussion, and activities that widen the understanding of the book’s topic. The book
is chosen each year by a group of library staff after examining dozens of suggested titles.
To participate, simply read the book Born to Run and/or attend a program. Registration is not a requirement for participation, but
if you would like to get into the drawing for some end-of-summer prizes, you will need to sign up online and keep track of the
books you read and the summer challenges you complete. You can sign up at our website, www.oplib.org, by clicking on the Sign
Up for Summer Reading link and following the instructions. Once you sign up on the website, you can enter the books you’ve
read using our online book log. For every 100 pages read or challenge completed, you will earn one point. Prizes are awarded
after 10 points, 25 points, and 50 points. The River Reads book, Born to Run, and the Top Five suggested titles will earn you
double pages! At the end of the summer, every ten points earns an entry in the grand prize drawings. The more tickets you earn,
the more chances you will have in the prize drawing! Easy!
