Join us this summer for LAZINFEST

our Summer Reading program for adults

Read books!  Win prizes!  Escape reality!

Beginning June 1, library card holders 18 and older may register for LAZINFEST
at the Library’s Adult Services Desk.  The program will last through August 31. 

For each book you read or listen to, you may fill out a form for our prize drawings.  
Simply place the completed form in our prize drawing box on the main floor.

Library staff will draw for prizes weekly; winners will be notified by telephone.  An individual may win only one weekly prize during the summer, but all entry forms (including those of weekly winners) will be entered in early September’s Grand Prize drawing.  There is no need to be present at a drawing to win any of our Adult Summer Reading Program prizes.  Our Grand Prize is a gift certificate for a stay at the Oregon coast!  Weekly prizes include sweets and bookish gift certificates. 

*Did you know?   ‘Lesen’ (pronounced LAZIN or LAY-zen) is the German word meaning “to read.”
