San Mateo Library Launches Teen Summer Reading Program

Teens need to read four books between now and August to get a $10 Barnes and Noble gift card.

The city of San Mateo is launching its summer teen reading program this month.

The reading program is open to teens in eighth to 12th grades, and offers prizes to those involved, according to city officials.

To participate, teens must read four books between June and August and write down the title, author and a brief review of each book.

Then, the teens who turn in their four reviews at any San Mateo library branch in August will receive a $10 gift card to Barnes and Noble.

San Mateo's three libraries are located at:

: 55 W 3rd Ave, San Mateo

: 205 W Hillsdale Blvd, San Mateo

: 1530 Susan Ct, San Mateo

For more information, visit the Library's Homepage or call (650) 522-7818.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.

Dear Ari, Thank you for your service to our community. It's wonderful that you are already making aRead More difference.
