Yes!! Although we highly encourage library use, we’re just happy that you’re reading!

We have options! You can come into the library and pick up an activity log at the front desk, or use one of our computers to print one off.

Each child needs to be registered separately.

The Pre-Readers age group (0-5) completes the 5 Roads to Reading (Singing, Talking, Playing, Writing, Reading). We have a special activity log for pre-readers. All of the Pre-Readers that complete their log will automatically be put in a drawing to win more prizes!

For the K-5th game board, you can mark off a space for every hour you read and every activity completed up to 10 hours. For the 6th-12th grade activity log, you can write a note for each hour spent reading or doing an activity up to 10 hours; specifying the book or activity is optional!

An activity can be pretty much anything that encourages participants to get involved with our theme. Here are some ideas of activities:​

Learn about some famous ocean explorers or pirates.

• Make up your own sea monster!
• Visit an aquarium in-person or online
• Learn about Deep Sea creatures
• Attend a library program
• Learn about different types of sea creatures
• Draw a pirate map!
• Learn about ocean habitats
• Write a story about a mermaid
• Read a story that is set in the ocean
• Make up a song about a fish
• Draw a picture of any type of ocean creature

You don’t have to! On your activity logs, you can either note that you did an activity or write the activity on a space. The choice is up to you! 

Bring your completed activity logs in after June 18th with your name & number listed, and we will call you as soon as your prize pack is ready to pick up!

No, tracking the books you read is more for your own benefit. It is not required to complete the program.

No. Events are a bonus that we provide for our readers, but attending events can count towards your total hours on your activity log. 

You can’t get another game board, but you can enter our Extreme Reader Challenge! For Children, every 3 extra hours you read, you can get your name put in a drawing for more prizes. You may print forms and keep track of your time here or stop by the library and pick them up. For Teens, every 5 extra hours you read, your name is put in a drawing for more prizes. You may print Teen Extreme Reader Challenges here​ or pick them up at the library. Drop your completed forms off at the front desk.
