Prizes for Reading

Take flight with reading this summer! Read and earn stellar prizes like kaleidoscopes, sky-hi balls, and best of all - a brand new book! Here's how:

No earlier than June 11, count down and blast off! Read (or be read to) for 30 minutes, and mark an X through circle #1. Continue marking off circles for every 30 minutes you read until you reach the FINISH. One rocket ride per summer, please.

Each time you reach to a star, come to the library to collect a prize. No prizes after August 3!

 

 

 

 

Penny Pages

After you've earned your final prize, keep reading…you can help raise money to support Hawkquest.org, a Colorado charity that supports hawks, owls and eagles. Come to the children's desk to find out how.

Thanks to Rotary of Steamboat Springs for sponsoring Penny Pages.
