Then stop by the library to pick-up your halfway prize and get your entry into the grand prize raffle! Halfway prizes are available beginning June 15.

Don’t stop there! Keep reading and after you complete 30 days of reading and another adventure, stop by the library beginning June 30 to pick up your completion reward and receive more entries for the grand prize raffle!

The Summer Library Challenge is open to all ages!

  • For kids up to Kindergarten age we recommend 5-10 minutes per day

  • For grades 7-12 and adults we recommend 30 minutes per day
  • Any amount of reading counts!
