TD Summer Reading Club Registration

It's almost here! We can't wait!

As of Monday, June 18 at 1 p.m., last year's TD Summer Reading Club participants can register for the 2018 edition of the TD Summer Reading Club to get a head start on their summer reading adventure!

Those who have not participated in the past can join the club starting on Sunday, June 24 by registering at our kiosk at Beaconsfield's Saint-Jean-Baptiste festivities at Centennial Park, or by coming to the Library as of Tuesday, June 26.

How it works: for each hour of reading you do this summer, you will be entered into our weekly prize draw!

Kids aged 6 to 17 who read for 40 hours or more all summer long will have a chance to win one of two Samsung Galaxy E lite tablets!

New this year: parents can also participate with their kids as a family for a chance to win cool family prizes at the end of the summer!

We can't wait to see you at the library this summer!

Your team,
Julia, Judith, Assunta, and Youngsoo
