Mayor's Summer Reading Program



Dear Parents/Guardians:

                Summer is almost here and I just want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of your child continuing to read during the summer months.  The Dallas Public Library has a wonderful program to encourage everyone in your family to read, read, read!  It is called the Mayor’s Summer Reading Program and it gives weekly prizes and incentives from June 15-August 10.   Registration for this program has already opened and students at Titche have already been given the opportunity to sign up.  I just wanted to take a moment to clarify and explain a few things so that you are on board for a great summer of reading!

1.        You do not have to have a library card at the DPL to participate and everyone between the ages of 0-adult can participate!

2.       The Dallas Public Library is doing online registration this year and has asked the schools to assist.  Many students at Titche have already been registered so you do not need to re-register them if they have returned the yellow form to me and received a prize. 

3.       The website to log-in or sign-up is http://dallaslibrarysr.evanced.info/

4.       Students will use their school ID number  as the username and the password will be ‘titche’

5.       Make sure you click the appropriate age group tab at the upper left hand corner of the screen before signing up or logging in. 

6.       Students will log their hours online or go into their local branch to report hours each week during the summer.  Students ages 0-6 must read/listen to at least 3 hours and students ages 7-12 must read at least 5 hours.  Teenagers and adults can participate too! 

7.      Go to the library every week to receive a prize, even if you don’t have a library card!  There are really great prizes including circus tickets, Rangers tickets, restaurant coupons, free books, and more! 

If you are not sure if your child already registered with me or you have any questions about this program, give me a call at 972-794-2120 and I will be glad to help you.  I hope everyone in your family will take advantage of this awesome, easy, and free program this summer! 

Happy Reading!
