Registration for Laramie County Library System’s annual Summer Reading Challenge began on Friday, May 21 and is challenging readers to “Believe the imPAWsible!”
Participants are challenged to read 1,200 minutes by August 16 to earn their completion prize pack, which includes a free book for children and teens. A library pint glass is also available for adult participants. For every 100 minutes a participant reads, they will also collect 10 raffle tickets to enter into drawings for prizes including laptops, local gift cards, and more.
Participants who reach their goal before August 16 are encouraged to continue their summer reading by participating in Read for a Cause.
“For every additional 100 minutes read and logged in Beanstack, Frontier Veterinary Clinic will make a donation to Cheyenne Animal Shelter in honor of our pet-themed challenge,” Library officials say.
“We know that our readers are going to do a doggone great job at meeting this new challenge, and the library can help everyone earn their completion prize pack by providing impossibly wonderful books, audiobooks, graphic novels, and more. After all, libraries are the best places to believe impossible things,” the event’s webpage says.
The library is also offering both in-person and virtual events to accompany the Summer Reading Challenge. With free book clubs, take-home crafts, and other activities. Find a full list of events at The Laramie County Library System website.
