It's time for the Children's Winter Reading Program!!! As in previous years, sign-up will take place at the Two Harbors Public Library. What is different is how kids earn drawing entries. In previous years, the deal was that, for every five books, a child earned a drawing entry. However, this was unfair to older kids, who would take days to read Harry Potter while younger kids could put in 10 picture books in an afternoon. This year, therefore, children will earn credit for time spent reading each day! We will hand out a game board, and for every day a child reads at least 20 minutes, one box can be marked off. For every five days that a child reads at least 20 minutes (totaling a minimum of 100 minutes), that child will earn one drawing slip and a prize! The first child to complete 40 days of reading (totaling a minimum of 800 minutes) and submit the game board to a staff member will win a stuffed polar bear!
As in previous programs, there are four big prizes that children can try to win:- Vtech Kidizoom Camera
- Perplexus Original Maze Game
- IlluStory Make Your Own Story Kit
- 20 Questions Harry Potter game
We look forward to making this another successful program! So stop by the library, sign-up for the program, and start reading!!!
