Know & Go Updates @your Library
Teachers will be able to sign up and participate as a class. Contact the Youth Specialist at your branch for more information to get started. Teachers may request either group log sheets, for ages 0-11, or individual log sheets depending on which will work best for their classroom. Each classroom that completes as a class will be entered into a raffle to win a classroom set of books. If participating as a class does not work for you, please encourage your students to participate individually. Don't forget, teachers and staff can participate as well! For individuals, joining is easy: 1. Go to your local library branch starting December 1st and pick up your log sheet. 2. Kids (ages 0-11) color in a circle for every 15 minutes you read. Teens/adults (ages 12 and up) log titles of books you read. 3. Bring the completed log sheet back to your branch to pick up your coupon and be entered into a drawing for fabulous prizes. Kids' raffle prizes include board game pack, $20 movie theater gift cards, and family memberships to the Magic House. Teen/adult raffle prizes include Kindle Fires, $20 movie theater gift cards, and $50 Amazon gift cards. Visit slcl.org for more details.
