State Rep. Doug Wozniak announced today he is partnering with several local libraries on a summer reading contest for local elementary school students.

Children are encouraged to read as many books as they can through August. Students or parents should record the titles of books read along with the number of pages on a bookmark available at the libraries or through a submission form on Rep. Wozniak’s website, www.RepWozniak.com. Data on bookmarks must be returned to the office or submitted via the website by August 31 for students to be eligible to win. The winners and their family members will earn the opportunity to be a Rep. for a Day at the state Capitol as a guest of Rep. Wozniak.

“A love of reading sets the foundation for success not only in school, but also in life,” Wozniak said. “My goal is to foster this love from an early age and help children discover a passion for diving into a good book.”

Bookmarks are available at the following libraries:

• Graubner Library, 65821 Van Dyke Road in Washington;
• Kezar Branch Library, 107 Church St. in Romeo; and
• Shelby Township Library, 51680 Van Dyke Ave. in Shelby Township.

The contest is open to all elementary school students in the 36^th District and will run through August 31. For questions or more information, contact Rep. Wozniak’s office at (517) 373-0843 or [email protected].
