How does the Summer Reading Program work?
When participants register at the library, they will receive a reading log. Each participant has a choice between completing solely by reading or by incorporating various activities.
The summer reading program is open to all children, regardless of whether or not they hold a Keokuk library card.
Instructions:
-
There are 10 drawings for each week/level. Read for 10 minutes or complete 1 activity in your playlist for each picture (up to 6 activities). You can also add your own summer challenge! Repeat challenges, if you wish.
-
Fill in your pictures for the week! When all 10 pictures are filled in, you advance to the next level. Levels must be completed in order.
-
You may read anything to fill your picture.
-
Visit the library to receive rewards for each level. You may choose not to receive a prize and receive an extra Reader of the Week. If you finish all 6 levels by July 31st, you’ll be entered into a Grand Prize drawing!
-
Both sides of the log must be completed before the final prize and certificate will be issued.
Additional Information:
-
Weekly Prizes: Bring your log in each week to receive a different prize! Limit of one prize per week. If you miss a week, no worries! You will receive an extra Reader of the Week entry for the week you missed!
-
