The Meaford Public Library Fundraising Committee has announced an exciting fundraising event for the new Meaford Public Library building. It’s a Read-A-Thon open to people of all ages; children, youth, adults, everyone. It begins on Monday, April 1, and the Read-A-Thon concludes on Friday, May 31, 2019.
Designed to foster and promote a love of reading and books, the Read-A-Thon will also help raise funds for the new Meaford Public Library building.
The Read-A-Thon will have prizes for the most books read and the most money raised in each of three age categories:
-
Children – Ages 3 to 9 years
-
Youth – Ages 10 to 16 years
-
Adult – Ages 17 and older
Everyone who enters will also receive a small prize when they return their pledge forms and money raised. Donations over $20 are eligible for a tax receipt.
It’s easy to enter the Read-A-Thon, just pick up a pledge form and book record at the library. You can read anything to participate – a novel, graphic novel, comic book, picture book, non-fiction title, or listen to an audiobook.
The grand prizes will be awarded to the winners in each age category on Saturday, June 8 at a party, open to all Read-A-Thon participants, at the Meaford Public Library.
