Teen (Grades 6-12): Track your time reading and earn raffle tickets and prizes for every 5 hours spent reading this summer. Teens complete SRC when they read 20 hours.

All early literacy activities count: read, write, sing, talk, play! Babies and toddlers may not be reading, talking, or writing, but a lot of activities count towards our SRC Reading Logs!
Read: read aloud to your child and also count time they spend interacting with and looking at books.
Write: Any fine motor hand skills count! Babies can grasp toys, toddlers can scribble, or kids can practice coloring or writing and it all helps build pre-writing skills. If it requires reaching, pinching, grabbing, or any fine motor skills, it counts as writing.
Sing: Sing with your child! Singing is a great way to bond and learn new words and tunes together.
Talk: Not all children in this age group are talking yet. Count time spent talking to your child. Babbling and other pre-talking noises count towards this activity as well.
Play: Play helps build so many skills for young kids! Any play time counts towards this goal.
Each age range has a reading log to track participation in SRC. Pick one up at the library, beginning June 2!
Early Literacy, Children, and Teen earn prizes and raffle tickets as they go. Once you complete the reading log, choose a FREE book to keep!
Adults earn raffle tickets as they go. Once you complete the reading log, enter a grand raffle for a special gift card!
