We've been working on getting the web pages set up for online registration that begins May 31. If you'd like a peek at how things are coming together, log onto our Online Summer Reading site.
Some changes from last year include being able to share your reading and any reviews you write with your Facebook friends. It's even set up so you can log your reading or submit a book review using your Smartphone. Just finished reading a book by the pool and want to log it and share it with friends? Simply sign onto our site and enter your info right from your phone.
When you become eligible for a prize, simply print off the certificate and bring it into the library to claim your prize.
More about prizes later. Bookmark our site so you'll be reading when the program begins. Summer is almost here.

The Countdown Begins
For many people flipping the calendar page to May means soccer practice, getting the ball glove out of the basement and watching for all this rain to bring on the May flowers.
Here at the library our Youth Services Department is busy getting ready for another season of Summer Reading. This year we are honoring the 200th birthday of Amherst by inviting everyone to "Join the Celebration" and take part in the best summer of reading yet.
We've got some great programs booked and some of the prizes are ordered. Hey, we've even ordered the cake!
Watch for online registration to begin on May 31, but you won't be able to start logging your reading until registration opens at the library on Monday, June 6. Watch for some improvements to our online site this year including being able to post your reviews and books you've read to your Facebook page and being able to access your summer reading account with your Smart Phone.
Check back often as the countdown continues.
