LEWISTON — Lewiston Public Library will offer teenagers, age 13 to 18, a weekly chance to win great prizes, simply by reading three or more hours a week beginning Wednesday, June 13.

The library wants to encourage teenagers to keep up with their reading during the summer months so they will not lose academic ground during the break.

Participants may read any type of reading material and any genre they want. As long as they meet their reading goal for the week, they will be eligible to choose from a weekly prize or a raffle ticket for a larger prize.

The raffle drawing will be held at the beginning of August, and prizes include Dr. Dre Beats headphones, soccer balls, beading kits, Flagship Cinemas gift cards and an iPod shuffle.

Teens may sign up June 13, and the first week to read begins on Sunday, June 17.

For details, contact the adult services desk at the Lewiston Public Library, 513-3135 or lplReference@LewistonMaine.gov.
