Saturday, June 8 – Saturday, August 10, 2013
Bookawockywebsite:http://www.scott.lib.mn.us/SRP.html
Did you know that students experience learning
losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer? In
contrast, children who participate in educational activities all summer start
their next school year ready to learn. Help prevent learning loss in your child
with the free offerings at your local library.
The Scott County Library System offers a
summer’s worth of fun and enriching activities and reading incentives for kids
0-18 years of age with Bookawocky: A Celebration of Summer Reading. New this
summer: kids will have the option of participating in Bookawocky online!
Here’s how to participate:
Earn Prizes (June 8 through August
10).
§ Earn virtual “badges” for things like minutes of reading, writing
reviews, and going to library programs.
§ You’ll get a free book when you complete 10 badges and a
Bookawocky book pack when you complete 20 badges.
§ Track your badges on paper with our special form OR (NEW!) online
with the new Bookawocky website.
Win State Fair tickets.
§ Read a book & complete a review form to enter weekly drawings
for 4-packs of State Fair tickets (you may only win once).
§ Turn in reviews from June 8-August 17; drawings will begin in
July.
Enjoy free special events and book clubs.
§ Visit your library and pick up a Bookawocky brochure listing the
exciting events happening at all the Scott County libraries.
§ Check our website for more details and the most current list of
all the free summer events at the Scott County libraries.
Bookawocky is supported by the Scott County
Library System and Metropolitan Library Services Agency (MELSA). Thank you to
additional prize sponsors: Local Friends of the Library, Minnesota State Fair,
Papa Murphy’s Take’n’Bake Pizza, and Zap Arcade.
TOPS TIME REMINDER
Just a friendly reminder to send
in Box Tops for Education and 5-cent milk caps with your student for our tops
collection drive. The primetime room to collect the most tops will win a primetime
party with cool treats! Tops are due Tuesday May 7.
Every little top counts! Last year’s contests raised more than $1,500! These
funds helped to support the TOMS Media Center and Phy Ed department. Thanks for
your support.
