New Westminster Public Library celebrates the summer of 2013 with its third annual Summer Reading Club for Adults.
A Rainbow of Reading runs all summer until Aug. 30. The library invites you to recommend your favourite books, to discover new ones, and to enter the draws to win prizes.
The reading club follows the colours of the rainbow. Each week displays and reading recommendations will feature a rainbow colour. The first week is Read Red. Next week is Read Orange; followed by Read Yellow, Read Green, Read Blue, Read Indigo, Read Violet, and finally Read All Colours. Of course, you can Read All Colours all summer long. But, if you want to join in with the rainbow-coloured themes, there will be bookmarks with reading recommendations and displays that will change each week following the colours of the rainbow.
If you liked Alan Bradley's Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, you'll want to keep up with Flavia's adventures in A Red Herring without Mustard during Read Red week. Or, maybe your choice will be the magical Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It has red in the cover, so it makes it into the Read Red recommendations.
Or, maybe now is the time to read The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, which is on the Read Red list because of the author's name.
Tell the library about the books you're reading to enter your name in the weekly draws. Fill out the ballots online or in the library.
On Aug. 31, all the ballots entered during the summer will go into a draw for a chance to win the Grand Prize of a Kobo Mini eReader.
All summer long, the book recommendations will be posted in the library and on the library's Facebook page. For more information see the library's webpage at www.nwpl.ca. Winners will be announced on the Facebook page.
