Read Around the Bases Cards
The Reading with the Rays: Read your way to the Ballpark cards are now available at your local library or print one out. Then start reading your way around the bases.
Rules of the Game
Choose your favorite books or your favorite section of the St. Petersburg Times to read over the summer. As you read, track your hours by rounding the bases and collect Rays rewards along the way.
When you read enough hours to get on first base, ask your parent/guardian to initial your card and bring it to your local library. The librarian will sign your card and give you a reading reward. Round the bases by reading a total of 24 hours this summer and receive a ticket to a Rays game!
On the back of the card, keep track of your favorite books and articles you read. You can write about what you have read at the St. Petersburg Times NIE Blogging Zone at blogs.tampabay.com/nie and click on "2009 Reading with the Rays."
You can also use the same books for the Pasco County Library System's Be Creative @ Your Library Summer Reading Club. You can log your books at pascolibraries.org/kidshome.shtml and click on Express Yourself. Then you can cut and paste your opinions about the book in "Borrower Reviews" for the book in the library's new catalog. If you need help feel free to call on your Pasco County Librarians.
Join us at the Land O' Lakes Library on Friday, June 5th at approximately 1:00 p.m. when Raymond and the Rays Street Team visit the library. Bring your cameras.
