How to Play...

This program is structured for pre-readers and readers ages three through five.

Beginning Monday, June 9, you may come with the first library book you and your child have read together and pick up your reading log. Be sure to bring your reading log and the book your child wants to talk about each time you visit. (If it is your first summer visit, stop at the Youth Services Desk to pick up a reading log.) It is up to you and your child to decide how many books you want to read between visits to the Library, but you must read at least one library book for your child to be eligible to play the Garden Game and take home a prize.

You may check in at the Youth Services summer reading table with no more than one book, as often as once a day. Write the titles and authors of the books you have shared in your reading log. Each time you visit, we will stamp the title of the book that your child chooses to bring to the table. (Your child is welcome to tell us about the book, but this is not required.)

After the log has been stamped, your child can play the Garden Game and win a grab-bag prize to take home.

PLEASE REMEMBER!

It's up to you and your child to decide how many books you read between visits to the Library, but you must read at least one Library book to play the Moon Toss game and win a prize.

All books must be checked out from the Highland Park Public Library. Recordings, videos, DVDs, magazines, pamphlets, computer games and book/cassette read-alongs do not count as part of the reading program.
