Would you like to win a Kindle Fire?

If so, you should enter the Adult Summer Reading Celebration at Almaden Branch Library or any San José branch library between now and July 31, 2012.

It's really easy:

1. Enter at your local library or online.
2. Read a book every 2 weeks, review it (2 sentences is OK), submit your review, and you're entered into our bi-weekly prize drawing! You can read your review and others here!

Bi-weekly prizes include:

• Starbucks Gift Card®
• Flexible Book Light
• Re-usable book bags with goodies

3. You may submit your review online after setting up a personal account or you may pick up a paper review form at your local branch library, fill it out, and put the form into the Adult Summer Reading Box at the library.

What could be easier?

You're wondering: Where does the Kindle Fire fit in? Well, if you submit at least one short review between now and July 31, 2012, you are entered into the Adult Grand Prize drawing for a Kindle Fire, which will be given out at the end of Summer Reading on July 31, 2012.

Then you can do next summer's reading on your new Kindle Fire.
