This year, our summer reading club will be moving online with registration and logging through the eVanced system (paper forms will still be an option).

Online registration and tracking will save time and paper, and prevent the problems of lost or illegible forms. Two computers in the children’s department will be dedicated to summer reading club use, so there will be a place to check or add to your log before cashing in for those prized book bucks.

Another big change for school-aged children: we will now be keeping track of time read rather than pages. We hope this will level the playing field for slower readers and encourage everyone to spend as much time reading as they can.

For more information, pick up a flyer of summer events, now available in the children’s department. Remember, Kickoff Day is June 13th. We hope to see you there!

The state has put together a great page of links on coping with the recession called “Here to Help”.

There is a wealth of information here, including:

- COBRA and health insurance
- Prescription prices
- Filing for unemployment
- Credit unions
- Heating and utility aid
- Veterans’ services
- Tax relief
