For readers who are 5 and under they will enter their books and receive listener prizes. This is any book someone is reading out loud to them and if logged they will receive prizes.
For readers who are ages 5-9 they will enter their books and receive beginner reader prizes. The books for beginner readers will be 125 pages or less in order to get the prizes.

Reading Programs
Free Reading Program sponsored by wimberley rotary club
The Free Reading Program is sponsored by the Wimberely Rotary Club to give parents and teachers an all-new way to let their children and students read anywhere and anytime without a physical book.
Our goal is to enhance the literacy skills of English language learners of all ages. The program will help improve English reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary and much more. Questions? Email Carrie Campbell: carriec1970@gmail.com
Summer Incentive Reading Program
Every summer the library offers an Incentive Reading Program. The research is clear that children who don’t read during the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress and that loss has a cumulative effect. The incentive reading program is available for children ages 1 year through high school. Children read or listen to books, fill out their reading logs and redeem them for prizes at the library.
