Read Your Way Through the Alphabet Challenge for Kids!
 
Children from ages two through twelve (2-12) are encouraged to read 26 books to earn a reading medal and have their name entered into a drawing for a $50 Walmart gift card. This can be accomplished by reading one book for each letter of the alphabet. How does this work? Use author names or book titles for each letter. For example, Dog Man by Dav Pilkey could count towards the letter “D”, “M”, or “P”. You may only use each book for one letter, which results in 26 different books being read. Younger children may participate because adults can record books read to their little ones. Participants have until Monday, January 17, 2022 to submit their forms. Read Your Way through the Alphabet forms are available on the table outside of the Children’s Department or download it here: Read Your Way through the Alphabet. All children who submit their forms will receive a medal upon submission plus their names will be entered into a random drawing; three children will each receive a $50 Walmart gift card. Winners will be contacted on January 20, 2022.

Challenge for All Ages: Be the Book!
Book lovers of all ages, the Warren Public Library is providing another opportunity to let your creative juices flow via Be the Book. We offered this challenge last year and received some really neat photos, so we are offering it again.

The challenge is to “act” out, or depict, a book title. Take a photo of yourself, friends or family acting out a book. Books for all age levels (children – adult) can be utilized: picture books, chapter books, nonfiction, graphic novels. Photo may include one person, several people, pets, stuffed animals; use your imagination!  

Participants should send their photo to Children’s Librarian Susan by Monday, January 10, 2022.
