GCPL summer readers eligible for free Gladiators tickets

Participate in summer reading to earn prizes, including ticket vouchers

Geauga County June 9, 2015 – Summer reading just got even better! You know you’re already eligible for prizes simply for reading and logging the books you’re enjoying. But now, we’ve upped the ante.

Once youth readers have completed their reading logs, they are eligible for free Gladiators tickets. Here’s how it works. When kids submit their finished reading logs to the library, they receive rewards (varies by location) including vouchers to redeem online for free tickets to a Gladiators game. When they submit their logs, they are automatically entered into drawings for even bigger prizes including gift cards to local attractions and eateries.
