Summer Reading Challenge
For this year's Summer Reading Challenge we're playing "Explore the Shore" with our area park partners: BPW, ODC, Ottawa County Parks and the City of Holland Parks and Recreation.
"Explore the Shore" invites you to step beyond the familiar. Find the courage to stretch your boundaries-both geographical and personal and dip your toe into something new.
Summer Challenge game/reading logs will be available for in-person pickup at either library location after June 8. The program runs through August 8.
Choose how you want to participate in the reading challenge:
- Complete activities to follow the game board AND/OR
- Set a reading goal and finish the reading log
Win prizes by bringing your completed game board or reading log to either library location August 8 through August 15. Enter drawings and select prize - including a free book! Prizes are available while supplies last so mark your calendar for this end-of-summer beach ball and be among the first to choose from the prize options.
