June 16-July 26 (Age 18 and up)

Theme: "The buzz @ your library"

Why should kids have all the fun? The Glendora Public Library and the Friends Foundation are proud to sponsor the Adult Summer Reading Club. Through the generous donations of Glendora and the surrounding communities, we are able to provide these events and all reading incentives FREE to the public. If you would like to sponsor these and other library programs, ask a librarian or call (626) 852-4891.

The Glendora Public Library offers the Adult Summer Reading Club for anyone age 18 and older. Buzz into the library to read books, share book reviews, and attend programs. The reading club will run for six weeks, from Monday, June 16 through Saturday, July 26. Registration, at which adults may pick out a free book and receive program information and book review cards, will begin the week of June 16, but you can sign up any time throughout the program. All book reviews should be turned in at the information desk on the library's main floor.
