2010 Adult Summer Reading Attention all adult readers! Here's a chance to read all those books that you've always wanted to read or revisit some of your old favorites during the months of July and August. We're asking readers to write a short or long review of any book(s) that you read in July and/or August and submit it to our Book Reviews Blog at http://wwbookgroup.wordpress.com or to a librarian at the Reference desk at the library for a chance to win a prize from our random drawing at the end of August. For more information about the contest and to see sample book reviews, please visit our blog. For each book review that you submit, you will receive a free coupon for a small hot or medium iced McDonald's coffee. The coupon is redeemable at any McDonald's location in RI, MA (excluding Western MA), and NH (excluding certain areas). If you submit your book review online on our blog, please come in and get your free coupon at the Reference desk.
