The 2018 Adult Summer Reading Contest at the Parma Public Library is in full swing. Read fiction or non-fiction on any device or listen to your favorite author in audio format between June 1 and August 31, 2018 and fill out a reading ticket for each book read. All tickets will be entered in weekly prize drawings for a year’s worth of “Free Holds” to be picked up at the Parma Public Library. Also, for every four completed tickets, the reader will earn a chance for the Grand Prize Drawing of a $50 Amazon gift card. The reader who reads the most books also wins a $50 Amazon gift card, and the person who reads the second highest total will take home a $40 gift card for Amazon. Bonus entry tickets can be earned by reading and attending the discussion for the July or August “Adult Book Discussion” books.
