Reading Dragons!

How does it work?
  • Pick up a log slip at the library. Each log is for one dragon family. 
  • Mark your log for every half hour you read.
  • Earn one card for each 30 minutes of reading.

Start with the egg, then the child, and go on to earn the whole family! When you’re ready, bring your log back to the library and and get your cards! Earn the whole family or redeem a card or two at a time--it’s up to you!

Dragon Families
New dragons are added every month, and earlier ones retired. Plan your dragons carefully!
