Summer Reading Prizes
For the duration of the summer, the library is offering prizes for reading books!
There are a few options here:
You or your child(ren) can pick up a prize tracker in the library and earn a new prize at every milestone.
You can track your books with a reading list from the Mashkiiziibii Agindaasoowigamig – Bad River Library or with your own system. Every book you read gets you a ticket for a chance at a special gift basket with sage and sweetgrass and other Native art and gifts, curated in collaboration with the team at Birchbark Books.
Some combination, maybe you don’t want a slap bracelet or a keychain but you do want that Culver’s treat or a Lego set: you can pass on any specific prizes and get a ticket for the gift basket instead.
A note to parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles, older siblings, friends: if you read a book to a child this summer, that counts! Take the point! You read that too.
And remember: audiobooks, ebooks, and graphic novels are still books. They count. You could probably even count a 50,000-word Wattpad story if it really held your interest.
The library is open 11am-5pm during the week, and 10am-1pm on some Saturdays.
We have brochures, and reading ideas as well so stop on by!
