Pick up your Summer Reading Challenge Sheet and color in a paint spot on the palette for every 30 minutes of reading or bonus activity. When your first 5 spots are filled, come in for a reading buddy. Collect a Croc charm, book, or prize for every 5 spots you color in after that. Complete the whole palette to enter the drawing for gift certificates, art sets, and more. In addition to the Summer Reading Challenge, we have some programs that are designed especially for youth in grades 6-12.
