📖 Read it Forward
No fines. No due dates. Just read, review, & pass it on.
Teens (grades 6-12), you have an extra chance to win a prize for reading this summer!
All you need to do is read one or both of our Read it Forward books, write a review using the QR code inside the book, and then pass it on to someone else to read for a chance to win a prize!
This summer, the libraries of the Capital Region will Read it Forward with TWO books: Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger and the graphic novel Hollow by Shannon Waters and Brandon Boyer-White.
To get started, pick up your Read it Forward book at our Summer Reading Kick-Off on 7/2 or stop by the GPL teen room while supplies last.
