Using a Paper Reading Log

Paper reading logs are also available at the Youth Circulation Desk.

• If you would prefer to participate with paper logs than online, you can ask for one at the Youth Desk
  
• Read books and then write the title and author on your log. Your first log will have space to log 10 books that you read.
• Once you are ready to return your reading log, bring it to the Youth Desk at the library to guarantee entry into the bike drawings.
• If you complete the first reading log, there is an additional log you can use to keep reading 10 more books, for a total of 20 entries!
• You do not have to complete the entire reading log to turn it in. Each book you read gets you an entry into the drawings.
• All reading logs must be turned in to the library by April 30th at 8pm to qualify.

Only books read between March 1 & April 30, 2024 count toward the challenge.
