Reading Dragons & Friends is a reading incentive program where daily reading earns you special magical creature trading cards. You can earn up to 12 cards each month of the program, plus a bonus card if you complete all 12 reading days.
How do I sign-up?
- Visit the Youth and Teen Services on the Upper Level of the Library to sign up and get your reading tracker and starter pack of cards.
Who can participate in Reading Dragons & Friends?
- Anyone aged 5 and up.
- No Library card is required.
Once you receive your reading tracker, you will set a daily reading goal and mark your tracker for each day that you hit your goal. Earn cards and visit the Youth & Teen Services desk to pick up your cards. You may pick up cards whenever you like, but are limited to picking up 2 months of cards at a time.
You set your own reading goal. It might be 20 minutes per day, or a chapter per day, or 1 picture book per day - you decide!
You should count reading that you do outside of school, but it can be reading that you do for school.
No, any book you read counts, whether it's a library book, your own book, your friend's book, etc.
Reading Dragons and Friends is only for those ages 5 and up. For our younger friends, we have a fantastic program called 1000 Books Before Kindergarten that they can sign up for at any time!
Listening to audiobooks counts as reading!
Yes, everyone needs to sign up again for the new year. You will need to get the new reading log and the new starter pack of card.
