KRUM PUBLIC LIBRARY

We are so excited you will be joining us this summer! We have lots of activities planned and prizes to give away.  If you are a returning participant, we will still be using ReadSquared to log your reading and complete missions to earn points and most aspects of the program will be similar to recent years. 

​

If you are new to the Summer Reading Program at KPL, rather than traditional paper reading logs, we use the website/app ReadSquared to track reading. Some of the benefits of ReadSquared include the following:

• No paper reading log to keep up with.

• Parents can log reading for multiple family members at once and access all family members easily to view their progress.

• Reading can be logged in different ways to suit unique reading styles and life circumstances. Choose each time you log whether to record minutes, pages, or books read.

• You are automatically entered into prize drawings as you log your reading or complete activities.

• Completing missions allows you to earn points towards prize drawings or program completion. Missions include a few at home activities, as well as attending events or participating in passive programming at the library.

• Unlock and play games, keep track of upcoming events, and more.

​

This year we will also be competing against Aubrey and Sanger Libraries in the NTLC Reading Challenge. To participate in this goal-based weekly competition look the for NTLC Reading Challenges in Missions.

​

Prizes: All Pre-K and Kids program participants will earn a token for our vending machine each time they receive a new badge in ReadSquared (every 100 points). With the token, the child will receive a capsule prize. If the capsule contains a colored paper, the child can choose a prize from the prize box (This will replace the weekly prize drawings done in previous years).

​

Throughout the summer we will have scheduled programs as well as drop in activities available. Stop by the library often and check our calendars to join the fun!
