New for 2021, we will be keeping paper sign-in sheets at the library for each registered participant. Simply read 2 hours per week, sign your sheet at the library weekly, and if you complete 5 of the 6 weeks you'll be entered in our Grand Prize Drawings!

FAQ

Find answers to the most common SRP questions below!

Is there a deadline to register?

Sort of. Registration will be open from May 15 all the way through the end of the program on July 9. However, if you want to be eligible for the Grand Prize Drawings you must register before 6:00 pm on Friday, June 11. 

Can I register online?

Yes! If you're unable to come in to the library, there will be an online registration option at this link. We'll fill out your sign-in sheet for you, and you can call or email us for your weekly sign-in! And you can receive your weekly prizes through Porch Pickup or Outreach!

Can someone else sign my sheet for me?

Sure! Since we'll still need to limit the number of patrons in the library at one time, we are 100% okay with one person signing all of the sheets for their family.

Do all age groups need to read 2 hours per week?

Yep! Although all of this is on the honor system, we highly encourage patrons of all ages to hit the 2 hour mark each week. That's just 20 minutes per day for 6 days out of the week!

When can I sign my sheet?

Once you've read for at least 2 hours, you are able to sign your sheet anytime the library is open! You'll sign for Week 1 only during Week 1, sign for Week 2 only during Week 2, etc. Just be sure to have your sheet signed before we close at 6:00 pm on Friday of each week!

We made the handy-dandy chart below to help keep track!
