Let's get started

Welcome to the Adult Summer Reading Challenge at Newport Public Library!

We're giving summer reading an online dimension this year, which hopefully will allow all you readers to more conveniently let us know what books you've read AND perhaps encourage some discussion and interaction once things get going.

First things first, though. Here's how to register for the Reading Challenge online:

1. Scroll down to the end of this post, and click the link that says "0 Comments."

2. In the compose window that appears under "Post a Comment," type in your name (first and last), your user name (if you have an online or blog identity you will be using--this is optional) library card number, and email address. No one but NPL librarians will see these comments, so your info will be secure.

3. I'll email you a confirmation from the email address nplreading@gmail.com. If you have any questions, if something doesn't work, or if you just want to register over email, please use this address.

Once you're registered, check the blog at least once a week to see what's going on. Every Monday, I'll publish a post asking what you've read. Simply post a comment to this post and let us all know. These comments will be published on the blog, so you can all respond to each other if you like. Just be sure to include your name or user name when posting. That's plenty of information for now, let's start reading!
