Gowanda Free Library Corner

     Discover the joy of reading in the summer. The Gowanda Free Library will be offering a variety of programs in July and August for all ages.

     Are you an elementary or high school student and owe the library some fines? This is your chance to read your fines away.

     That’s right - kids 17 and under, for every half hour of reading, you can earn $1off an existing fine.

     No fines? You can earn prizes for each half hour of reading.

     For kids 10 and under, for every 10 books they read, they can earn a free meal at Applebee’s.

     Just be sure to sign up for the Summer Reading Club to take advantage of this. Other incentives will be announced as they become available.
