We invite kids of all ages to join together as we celebrate reading, kindness and working together to make the world a better place for all.

Log the books you read to earn badges and a chance to win prizes!
 

Keep track of the number of books read online or in your Passport booklet. Join us for in-person programs, crafts and much more! Between Monday, July 17 - Monday, July 31, bring your Reading Passport to the library and show us what you have done this summer. You will receive a goody bag along with a free book, and you will also be entered in a special Grand Prize Drawing!

All Together Now! Log the books you read to earn badges and rewards.

Adults...we challenge YOU to read this summer! Keep track of the minutes you read and if you complete the challenge, you will earn an extra entry in the Yearlong Adult Reading Challenge. (Yes, the books you read MAY be used on entries for the yearlong challenge also)

We will draw one winner from those who complete this challenge for a special prize! The challenge is from June 1st - July 31st. Let's see how many minutes Champaign County adults can read!

2023 is going to be Groovy at the Library!

Just stopping by the library makes you part of our club! All adults are invited to join us for a far out time in 2023.

Studies show that just six minutes of reading decreases blood pressure, lowers heart rate, and reduces stress by up to 68%. Just imagine if you read 100 books!

If you complete at least one book badge you will be entered in the grand prize drawing to be held in December. Throughout the year we will have special programs for all club members. Paper entries will also be available at the library.

Enjoy reading 1,000 books with your little ones! Log reading and earn badges all along the way.

It’s easy to participate! For every book you read (yes, repeats count), your child will be one step closer to reading 1000 books before kindergarten! You can count books read to your child by anyone…teachers, siblings, grandparents, etc. Keep track of the books read on Beanstack.

For each 100 books read, children can stop in the library and place a leaf on the Readers' Tree and have their picture taken to share with family and friends! When you reach 500 books, be sure to stop in the library to pick up a prize.

It may sound like this is a daunting task, but if you read just 1 book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a year, 730 in two years and 1,095 in three years.

Take a deep breath in and out, notice where you are, and how you are feeling. Great job! You are on your way to becoming a more mindful person. Try this challenge and earn 10 new badges as you take some much-needed me time.  All Ages
