Adult Summer Reading 2025

Read Books, Win Prizes!!

Open to adults 18+, our Adult Summer Reading Program (ASRP) begins on June 1st, 2025 and runs through July 31st. You’ll have a chance to win amazing prizes with your ASRP Reading Logs. The more reading logs you complete, the more chances you have to win! Click here to print reading logs or get them from any library branch.

For each completed reading log that you turn in, you will instantly receive:

  • 5 book bucks that you can use to purchase used books at any branch or at The Friends' Fall used book sale in October (limit 15 book bucks),
  • be entered in a monthly drawing at each branch for a prize,
  • be entered in a grand prize drawing at the end of the summer!

What you need to know:

  • No registration!
  • Fill out your Reading Logs with the books you've read between June 1st and July 31st. Five books complete a log. Books, eBooks, and audiobooks all count!
  • Once you complete a log, turn it in at any branch or email it to: info@handleyregional.org
  • Remember to pick up more Reading Logs! You can also download them on this page.
  • More chances to win with monthly drawings, so hand in your reading logs early and often!
  • Participants will earn Book Bucks for every log turned in, up to $15, to be used at the Friends of HRLS book sale or in the gift shops and book sales at all library branches. Book Bucks will expire on October 31, 2025, and can be used on books and AV items, but not on other merchandise.
  • Return all your logs by August 2nd to be entered in the grand prize drawing!
