Adult Summer Reading Contest

Rest, relax and recharge this summer at the library!

Starting with a visit to CKPL can lead anywhere! Beginning June 26, pick up your bookmark and participate in our Adult Summer Reading contest! Every time you visit CKPL and borrow items, you have a chance to win an amazing prize pack featuring gift cards to local businesses. Contest is best suited for adults 16+ and will run until August 31. 

Take a break from mowing the lawn and soak up the sun reading a good book. Reduce your screen time and explore the outdoors with a Park Pass, pickle ball kits or play pack. Check out a puzzle or teach yourself how to play the ukulele! Maybe up your fitness by walking while listening to an audiobook or stop into the library to satisfy your TBR list. Let CKPL help you to find your escape this summer. ​
