Book of Summer

What is the Book of Summer?

To encourage writing skills and engagement with books, Wright Library is putting together a book entirely made up of children’s and teens' submissions. This book will be bound and kept in the library.

How can I participate?

Submit your creative work the at the Youth Services desk inside the library. Submissions may take many forms—book reviews, illustrations, reimagined cover art, original stories, poems, etc..

All submissions should be your own work; on single-thickness construction paper, note paper, printer paper, or similar; and no longer than one page (front & back) per month.

Each month that you submit something to the Book of Summer earns you a spin of the prize wheel!
