From Monday, June 29 to 5:00 pm. on Saturday, August 15, patrons will record their reading times online through WANDOO. This year we have gone completely digital! No paper logs will be available, but a designated computer at the library will be available for logging in and recording times for patrons unable to do so otherwise. Staff can also assist with WANDOO.
Grand prizes, top 10 reader prizes, and prizes for minutes logged will be awarded after the final day of the program, Saturday, August 15.
Additionally, beginning Monday, July 6 and taking place each following Monday for the program’s duration, there will be a weekly prize drawing for participants who complete one or more of the following:
- Correctly answer the prior week’s ‘Where’s Wallace?’ question, found on Facebook or by clicking "Virtual Program Activities" above.
- Log at least 30 minutes on WANDOO for the prior week.
- Complete the prior week’s challenge, found on Facebook or by clicking "Virtual Program Activities" above.
- Complete the prior week’s activity page, found on Facebook, at the circulation desks, or by clicking "Virtual Program Activities" above.
Weekly prize drawing winners will be notified via their parent/guardian e-mail each Monday and may claim their prizes at the Children’s Circulation Desk.
For the awarding of grand prizes after the final day of the program, Saturday, August 15, participants will have 1 entry submitted on their behalf for every 30 minutes logged between Monday, June 29, and 5:00 pm. on Saturday, August 15. A drawing will be held for a total of 4 grand prizes on Monday, August 17.
Prizes will be awarded for the top 10 readers and total minutes logged as determined on Monday, August 17.
Grand prize, top 10 reader, and total minutes logged winners will be contacted via their parent/guardian e-mail and may claim their prizes at the Children’s Circulation Desk.
