Reading & Activity Log
- Pick up your Summer Reading & Activity Log at the library’s Children’s Desk or sign up with READsquared to record your reading and activities online.
- Read, visit the Makerspace, and complete library activities.
- Color in the corresponding apples, campfires, and tents on this sheet as you read and complete activities. For activities, write what you did!
- Bring your completed or partially completed log to the library’s Children’s Desk. For Every 60 minutes (4 apples) you read, you will get a bead. For every activity you complete, you will get a bead.
Each week you visit the library over Summer Reading, you get to pick a prize from the Treasure Chest!
