• Everyone: Read or listen five out of seven days each week to be entered in the weekly prize drawing. Keep reading for a chance to win weekly gift cards. Weeks run Sunday – Saturday.
• Children (ages 0-12):
• Earn a book prize after completing their first week of reading.
• Complete a second week of reading to earn an SRC T-shirt or backpack.
• Read a total of 20 days to enter to win a grand prize basket. Baskets are on display at each branch.
• Teens and Adults: Read 10 days to earn a bendable booklight while supplies last.
