Come in to the Library and sign up for the Wild Reads @ Your
Library Summer Reading Club
You will receive a Club Packet that will include these items:
- Cut out of a monster
- Title Log
- Time Log
- Calendar
- Bookmark
Your quest will be to decorate your monster with as many colored
"warts" as you can--the more you read, the more colorful
your monster will be!
Write your name on your monster and put it up in the Children’s
Room. Bring home the rest of your packet. Each time you read or are
read to for 15 minutes, color in one of the smiley faces on your time
log. When you have colored in 4 faces in a row, you have read for
1 hour.
For every 2 hours of reading, you may come into the Library and put
a "wart" sticker on your monster. After reading
for 12 hours, come in to the Library and get a small prize.
When you have colored in all the smileys and you have stuck 12 stickers
on your monster, you will have read for 24 hours (1 WHOLE DAY!). Bring
in your time log to receive another special prize
and a certificate. At the end of the summer,
all children who participated diligently but did not reach 12 hours
will receive a pencil.
Remember, you can read ANYTHING you like: books, magazines, comic
books--anything.
The title poster sheet is for you to keep a record of what titles
you read during the summer.
When you start school next year, you can bring your monster, time
log and title log to school and show your new teacher how much you
read over the summer!
