Once you set up your account, track the time you spend reading. When you’ve logged your third hour, the website will let you know you’ve earned your first prize—your choice of a free book and some great treat coupons from your library.

When you pick up these items, you can also grab a Bingo card that encourages you to try new things and have some fun experiences over the summer, as well as continue to read and track your hours online.

For every three hours of reading you record, your name is automatically entered into the grand prize drawing (no paper coupons this year).

Each branch of DPL is giving away a Google Nexus Tablet (valued at $200) to a lucky teen winner.
