How to Participate
Record Your Reading
Record your reading on the log by marking off a numbered square for every day that you read. We encourage you to read at least 20 minutes a day, but any amount of reading counts. Listening to audiobooks and reading together as a family counts too.
Complete Weekly Activities and Attend Events
Mark off squares labeled 'activity or event' in the bonus round of your log when you complete weekly in-Library activities and/or attend events. See our full list of programs for June and July.
Heading out of town or can’t get to the Library? Try one of these activities from home!
Use scrap slips of paper to create paper stars following a tutorial from our Creative Bug database. An account is free with your Library card!
Play a learning game from our Scholastic Teachables database. You can log in with your Library card, find a game or fun worksheet for your grade level, and have fun!
Try your hand at cooking something with your family. Try a recipe from around the globe with our A to Z World Food database.
Take a walk around your vacation spot and point out things that are similar or different from home. Talk about it with your family and, if possible, take pictures to show us when you’re back.
Earn Prizes
Stop in and collect prizes as you earn them. Mark off a whole level of squares (12 days) to earn that level's prize and a Grand Prize Drawing entry. Levels must be completed in order. Complete all levels plus the bonus round to earn an extra drawing ticket and a place on our Wall of Fame!
Level 1 prize: Summer Reading T-shirt
Level 2 prize: Book and Coupons
Level 3 prize: Glow-in-the-Dark Frisbee or Bath Toy (ages 0-2)
Grand Prize Drawings: You choose the prize by putting your drawing entries in the box of the prize you hope to win. Winners will be notified during the first full week of August.
Deadline for checking in to collect prizes is July 31
