This program encourages families to read 1,000 books with their children before they enter Kindergarten. Stop by the library to claim a free book bag and book for your child! After every 100 books read, come to the library to claim a silver star sticker. Enjoy the enchanted bonding time with your child!
Do you ever wish you took the time to read more? Do you already spend every free moment with your nose in a book? Either way, let your library be a resource: log your personal reading to be entered in random drawings, unlock mini games, and take inspiration from our reading lists! (Every book you read = 10 points. Points can also be earned via a variety of "missions." Every 10 points grants you an entry into a semi-regular drawing for 20 Chamber Bucks.)
This program is designed for kids age 3 to 10 to encourage life-long reading habits. Once you've earned enough points you'll receive a completion certificate you can print and share!
Our challenge to you: read 5 books over 6 weeks this summer! For each book, you earn a raffle ticket for a selection of grand prizes, and if you reach five books, feel free to enjoy a complimentary food coupon!
