Kids Ages 0 - 18
Track your progress by checking, crossing, or coloring a circle on the paintings for every 15 minutes you read. For example, if you read 45 minutes in one day, mark off 3 circles. For every 3 hours (1 “painting”/12 circles) you read, bring this sheet to the library to collect a small prize and submit a raffle ticket (on the fold-out inside) for a grand prize! All reading logs must be returned no later than Saturday, August 23, to be eligible for prizes and raffle. Don't forget that graphic novels, audiobooks, eBooks, magazines, and articles count too! Hand in your completed, colored reading log for an extra raffle ticket!
