LVJWC 2012 Summer Read-A-Thon

Looking for mystery or adventure this summer?  Keep your reading skills sharp by taking a vacation through books.   Participate in the 2012 Summer READ-A-THON!  This program promotes reading while earning money for the purchase of new children’s books for the Washington Township school libraries and the Public Library.    The Long Valley Junior Women’s Club is pleased to offer this program each year as our way of helping to enhance the literacy of our children, to encourage their independent reading, and to contribute funds to the libraries.

Last year the 2011 Summer Read-A-Thon raised over $6,000 for our school and public libraries with the help of local businesses like Taylor’s Ice Cream in Chester and The Califon Book Shop in Califon.

Registration for Washington Township children entering 1st through 8th grades is already underway.  Be sure to keep an eye out for bookmarks to be distributed by your librarians with registration information.  Or, to register now, go to www.lvjuniors.org for forms and information.  In order to receive a coupon to The Califon Book Shop you must register by Tuesday, June 12th.
