he St. Louis Public Library is proud to kick-off its annual Summer Reading Club for kids and Pageturners for adultsFrom May 4-July 25, kids, teens, adults, and groups (daycares, summer schools, and day camps) can read for the chance to win great prizes!

To join in the fun, readers should register ONCE online or at any St. Louis Public Library Branch.  They'll receive a Reading Record to keep track of the books, audiobooks, magazines, eBooks, eAudiobooks, or eMagazines that they complete.

Adult readers will "Escape the Ordinary" by joining Pageturners, the Library's reading club for adults. They can enjoy the exploits of superheroes or follow the adventures of real-life heroes. They can earn a handy red tote bag and the chance to win Cardinals tickets.
