Summer Reading Club Reading Rules Rundown

Alright guys, it's time for Summer Reading Club again, and that means it's time to run down the rules:
Once you've logged in your ultimate goal in hours for the summer, you can calculate your weekly goal. Each week fulfilling your goal gets you a weekly prize (The First "tier" is Chick-Fil-A coupons for an 8-pack of nuggets).
Just follow this cheat sheet:
Once you've logged in your ultimate goal in hours for the summer, you can calculate your weekly goal. Each week fulfilling your goal gets you a weekly prize (The First "tier" is Chick-Fil-A coupons for an 8-pack of nuggets).
Just follow this cheat sheet:
Hours Read each week | Total for 9 weeks |
1 | 9 |
2 | 18 |
3 | 27 |
4 | 36 |
And so on. You can calculate it by day as well:
Reading Time Per Day | Week Total (if you read 6 days) | Total for 9 Weeks |
15 min (Laaaay-zeee!) | 1.5 hours | 13.5 hours |
30 min | 3 hours | 27 hours |
1 hour | 6 hours | 54 hours |
1.5 hours | 9 hours | 81 hours |
2 hours | 12 hours | 108 |
3 hours | 15 hours | 135 |
If you read ten hours, you can fill out a ticket that puts you in the drawing for one of our grand prizes, like an Ipod shuffle.
Fulfill all your hours, visit some of the cool programs this summer, and celebrate your acomplishment with our end of SRC party on August 7th.
Remember, this week's movie is Spiderman (PG), the first of the whole trilogy. Also, the YAAC meeting is this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. Eat some pizza and share your ideas!
