Capturing adult readers

The Tappan Library is hosting its first ever “adult reading program.”
Yes that’s right, here’s a program to encourage those post-school folks to pick up a book and read. The Think Green reading program is promoting reading on a “green” theme, but will accept any fiction, nonfiction or media selection. 
“We didn’t want t leave the adults out,” library director Sara Nugent said when I called to ask about this program, who explained that the goal is to get people involved in the library activities on a many levels.
Participants have to write a short report — nothing comes without a catch and participating adults will a) learn how their kids feel, and/or, b) set a good example for their kids.
I think it is a neat idea and some lucky readers will receive a $100 gift certificate to a local hair salon or lunch for two at ‘76 House, one of my particular favorites.
Online registration begins June 23. The Adult Summer Reading Program begins Monday, July 7th and ends Monday, Aug. 11.
