Reading for Time

Track your time spent reading this summer and receive prizes! Upcoming 5th graders and younger will receive a time sheet upon registration at the library.

Children that are not reading independently can have an older child, parent or caregiver read to them. This is a family literacy event and we strongly encourage you to enjoy your children’s books with them.

Record your time and bring the sheet with you each time you visit the library to receive coupons for reaching the following goals.

Prizes earned at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 hours. These include book bags, stickers, food coupons, certificates, etc.
