Summer is a great time to Renovate Your Reading with the Adult Summer Reading Challenge at New Westminster Public Library. Keep track of your summer reading and complete the other activities on the challenge checklist to win one of three prizes from local Royal City merchants. Join up on your own or encourage friends and family to sign up too.
Get your library challenge booklet at either the main branch or Queensborough. Track your progress over the summer and complete the form as you go – and don’t forget to add your contact information to the form before submitting it to the prize draw.
For a chance at a prize, submit your completed booklet back at our main or Queensborough branches by Aug. 25. Prize draw winners will be contacted by Aug. 31.
We want to help you explore both new and familiar areas of the library’s collections and try out our online resources that are available to you 24-7. Our Renovate Your Reading tasks will challenge you to explore the collection with activities such as reading a transformative book, watching a foreign film, listening to music by an Indigenous artist, listening to an audiobook, or learning about borrowing a Chromebook from the library. We also challenge you to transform your tech skills by learning new skills with Lynda.com, fixing your vehicle with Automate, taking a language lesson with Rocket Languages, or using Novelist to find your next great summer read.
All summer long, the library will feature and recommend all types of library materials: books, DVDs, CDs, audiobooks, and our online resources to help you complete the challenges and make the most out your library membership. Follow along on social media with Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
So the next time you’re in, ask to join the Adult Summer Reading Challenge and start keeping track of your summertime reading and library activities. You can also email AskUs@nwpl.ca or call at 604-527-4666 for more information.
