The Maricopa County Summer Reading Program is in full swing, invigorating the youth of Peoria with a tangible sense of adventure found within the pages of their favorite books. The residents, young and old, are invited to partake in an interactive community event that marries the joy of reading with the allure of prizes.
Users are encouraged to visit select businesses within Peoria to collect secret codes – each an entry to unlock badges and points that lead participants closer to the rewards. According to information retrieved from the City of Peoria's official news release, eager participants only need to whisper "read the news" to the library staff at either Peoria Public Library location, to swiftly earn themselves a special prize.
With the list of community partners including restaurants like Culver’s and Raising Cane’s, alongside other local favorites such as TheaterWorks and Rio Vista Community Center, the program is designed to encourage reading and also to foster community engagement. To earn these prizes, participants must enter the secret codes collected into their account at MaricopaCountyReads.org, as detailed by the city's announcement. Participation in the program, which is part of a grand ensemble of 65 libraries across Maricopa County, offers a delightfully rewarding pursuit that extends through to its culmination on August 1.
