Take a look at everything we've got to offer!
Embedded Files
READING | Motivate and affirm your child's reading by logging the books or hours read for a prize.
The first five hours or ten books your child reads will earn them a small prize! After that, every additional five hours or ten books read in June and July earns them an entry into a drawing for a bigger prize. Track the hours or books through Beanstack or with a paper log from your branch.
Prizes will be distributed at the end of the Summer Reading Program. Paper reading logs and Beanstack reading logs must be submitted by July 31.
