Reading rewards
Read your way to the ballpark

The rules of the Read Your Way to the Ballpark game are simple. Get your game card @ your library in Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco or Pinellas counties. Choose your favorite books from your local library or select your favorite section of the Tampa Bay 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 or guardian to initial your card, then bring it to your local library. The librarian will initial 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!
