Have you taken advantage of our curb side pick-up of books yet? If not, you can check out details here on how to get your books.
If you watch a virtual program with a story included, it counts towards your logged reading and activity badges. Virtual programs have their own activity badges, so when you go online to watch, look for the corresponding badge and activity through Beanstack. The calendar will give you a hint for the badges to look for.
Each week we'll highlight an activity badge and activities, but keep in mind, you can work on these badges at any time during our summer reading challenge.
Have fun this week in the Land of Sugar and Sweets!
