Children's Programs

Children 0-12 will be logging minutes.
Children will earn badges as they progress through our Summer Reading challenge.
In addition to badges, children will earn tickets for time read.
- Children 0-5, will earn 1 ticket for every 1/2 hour read.
- Children 6-12, will earn 1 ticket for every 1-hour read.
These tickets can be used at the "End of Summer Store."
Top Reader Prizes will be awarded for the following age groups:

Teens 13-18 will be logging minutes.
There will be weekly prize drawings for anyone who logged at least 30 minutes the previous week.
- For example, if you read and logged 5 minutes every day from June 5th - June 11th, you would qualify for the drawing on June 13th.
- Paper logs must be turned in by Saturday (of the logging week). So if the drawing is on June 13th, the paper logs must be turned in by June 10th.
- There will be 7 weekly drawings.
At the end of the contest, the top Teen reader (most minutes logged) will win a $100 Amazon Gift Card.
- The top Teen reader will be announced on July 29th.

Adults will be logging minutes.
Every 30 minutes logged will count as 1 entry into the prize drawing at the end of summer!
Prizes are:
- $100 Amazon GC
- $75 HEB GC
- $50 Target GC
In order to win prizes, reading material must come from Sims Library.
- Material must come from the Adult or YA sections.
- E-Books must also be Adult or YA books.
