Cruise Your Library New in 2004!
(For high school ages and up)
The San Antonio Public Library is proud to introduce our first Summer Reading Club for adults. The Cruise Your Library program invites adults to explore their world by reading a book about each continent. Upon registration, a reading log will be assigned along with a cruise ticket. Participants may read one book per week for a raffle entry to receive exotic prize baskets. Once participants complete all seven continents by July 21^st, they can enter a drawing for a grand prize!

Extreme Summer
(For teens ages 13 to 18, or students entering 6^th grade)
Sign up beginning June 1^st and receive a passport to summer adventure without ever leaving San Antonio! Take a virtual trip around the world, participating in extreme sports along the way – surf the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, raft the Amazon in South America. Teens will keep track of the continents they visit with their Extreme Summer passport and collect prizes as they go.

Libro Sails the Seven Seas
(For children of any age)
Children enrolled in the Summer Reading Program will receive a treasure map that will serve as a guide as kids read around the world, visiting each continent, all while collecting their pirate’s loot along the way!

General Information
Join in the fun! Starting June 1^st, registration for all three Summer Reading Programs can be completed online at http://www.sanantonio.gov/library or at any library.
