Children's Program

Reading Challenge for Ages 5 - 12

This summer, we invite kids on a quest for badges. Questers earn 20 points for each day of reading and/or special learning mission completed.  For every 100 points earned, level up and earn a badge. Collect all 10 badges by completing 50 days of reading. Log reading online or on paper (more on that below).

Reading Challenge for Preschoolers

Younger children and their grown-ups have a reading challenge all their own!  Read and complete literacy activities together for 50 days this summer to earn badges or some fun fairy tale surprises from the library. ​Reading can be logged online or on paper. 
Note to parents: Your child may collect the badges shown above in the elementary program. If you feel this would present a choking hazard due to your child's age, you may instead choose the goodie bag, which would be collected after 50 days of reading.

​FREE pen pal kit!

When we want to communicate with friends and family, our first instinct might be to grab our smartphones to send a quick message. Did you know there is any even better way to show loved ones you are thinking of them? We have just the program planned for you.
