It’s that time of year again! Our annual HCDL Online Summer Reading Challenge for all ages returns tomorrow, Saturday, May 30 and runs through Saturday, August 1.
So buckle up for some great missions and get ready to track your reading all summer long with our 2020 Challenge on ReadSquared. Taking advantage of technology, we have added virtual events with familiar favorites including Gemini and Alex Thomas & Friends, along with original and curated content for you and your family to enjoy.
This year, we have simplified the prize structure to make it easier than ever to participate! Each age group (Pre-Readers, Kids, Teens, and Adults) has a weekly prize drawing for a gift card to a local business, like Dairy Queen and Heart of Michigan, or a familiar online merchant, like Amazon. At the end of the reading challenge, all participants will be entered into a final prize drawing for their age category.
You or your family members may have online fatigue from meetings, school, and information, but we encourage you to spend some time with us this summer with our fun, stress-free program. Participating in Summer Reading with our virtual events and missions is a great way to continue learning, reduce summer slide, and create your own path beyond a textbook. Our virtual events foster online engagement and it doesn’t require a screen to complete the missions--the best of both worlds!
While our building may not be open to the public yet, we are still here for
you!
