Please note you are looking at an event that has already happened.

Event Details

Enjoy a winter filled with "Snow" Many Books! Choose our winter reading challenge for ages birth to 7 and track your reading by books, or our minute reading challenge for ages 8 to 100. Everyone can participate, and earn badges for completing reading and activity goals. 

To participate, register on Beanstack OR ask for a print log. Either way, you'll earn a prize for registering, and one ticket for each badge you earn. Tickets will be entered for drawings for age-specific prizes. 

ALL reading counts. Earn 10 badges of any combination (reading and/or activities) to "complete" the program. You can continue reading up to March 1 to earn the maximum number of tickets! 

Finish the online program by March 1 or bring your completed print log to any RIPL location by March 7 to be eligible for prizes. All prizes may be picked up at an RIPL location.
