reading challenges:

For Adults and Teens:

1. Pick up your first Reading Tracker sheet at the library (Up to 5 different sheets are available). Mark off every 30 minutes to an hour that you read to complete each sheet. Some optional reading challenges are included as well.

2. A completed sheet turned in counts toward our end-of-summer prize drawing! Remember to write your contact info on the back of each sheet turned in.

3. Complete as many Reading Tracker sheets as you want to add more prize drawing chances until our summer challenges ends (August 21st, 2026).

For KIDS AND BABIES:

1. Pick up a Field Notes booklet at the library to mark off every 15 minutes you read!

2. Complete a full page of reading tracking to get a stamp in your booklet on the 2nd floor at the library. We'll give you a prize drawing slip to enter into the end-of-summer prize item of your choice. (These options are on display at the library.)

3. At 8 stamps, you can receive a free book! At 11 stamps, you can receive a Super Reader Yard Sign or a Super Reader t-shirt...Let's Unearth a Story!

FOR ALL AGES:

Can our community reach 250,000 minutes this summer? Based on past years, your librarians and Melvin the Mamenchisaurus believe we can!

Stop in the library to see our jurassic minute tracker behind the front desk slowly climb up to our goal as reading challenge participants track their minutes all summer long!

We can do it!!
