I'm so glad you want to join in the fun! This summer is filled with great activities, stuff to check out online, ideas for a greener lifestyle, great prizes, and of course, awesome books! Your goal for this summer is to read at least 100 minutes per week during the 6 weeks of the summer reading program. Read books, magazines, short stories, websites, newspapers, the back of the cereal box, ANYTHING! And the first step to being a part of all of it signing up. Here's how:

On the next page, fill out everything you can. Some stuff you absolutely need to fill in, like name and age; those things are marked with a star next to them. You can see it here. Your username and password can be anything you like, so make sure you choose something that is easy to remember! At the bottom, we're also asking you if you want to be a part of the Bruins Read Program (yes, THOSE Bruins!) That means while you're reading all summer, you can enter to win really cool stuff from the Bruins like game tickets and a ride on the Zamboni! I think it's definitely working checking!
