A dragon has burnt down a nearby forest!
Join the Burlington Public Library Wizard, Central Skagit Library Druid, La Conner Swinomish Library Cleric, and Upper Skagit Library Bard in their quest to stop the dragon and replant the forest with magical trees! Each completed reading log, Side Quest, and Loot Quest card helps our heroes (and you)! Sign up, participate, and claim your prizes (and all six collectable bookmarks) at any participating library, and be sure to check out upcoming events at all locations!
This year, we’re reading for trees! For each completed reading quest, a tree will be planted by Skagit Conservation District at plant sites throughout the county, up to 500 trees. By reading, you’re leveling-up your skills and helping our community!
This summer, level up at your library! Choose your own reading goal, track your progress to earn prizes, and complete your quest!
Step one of the Summer Reading Program is to register – this lets us know how many people are participating, which helps us prepare our supplies! When you sign-up kids and teens will receive a free book and everyone will get a USL tote bag and can choose from a croc charm or a D20 for their starter prize.
Our Summer Reading Program is made up of many different activities including programs and special events, crafts, Storytimes, and reading challenges. Participation in the program will give you the opportunity to win prizes. The more you participate the more you can potentially win!
New this year you can choose to experience SRP through Beanstack, an online app, or through paper. Ask staff for more info if you’re not sure which way you prefer to participate.
If you choose to adventure with Beanstack you can keep track of your reading and earn badges as you do so! On Beanstack you can also write reviews and keep track of your Side Quest progress to potentially earn extra loot!
If you choose to adventure with pen and paper be sure to grab one of our paper trackers as well as one of our Side Quest sheets. For both adventuring paths, don’t forget your Loot Quest card!
Once a month we’ll be having a level up event where if you demonstrate progress in your reading log you’ll be able to choose another croc charm or D20.
If you participate in our Side Quest challenge and complete all of the tasks you will be entered into a Grand Prize Raffle!
As always, activities and events are subject to change at a moment’s notice!
To stay up to date on dates, times, locations, etc., keep an eye on our website, email newsletter, social media, or sign-up for our SMS Advertising Service.
We will have a booth at Silo Park where all the fun will be and we’ll have a photo booth (with props!) and will be taking Polaroid photos, sharing info about SRP, and signing folks up for cards. We might even have loot and crafts! Who knows what the dice decide?!
This year we will have two Silly Saturdays – one on July 31st and one on August 31st!
Drop-into the library during open hours for challenging trivia questions and prizes throughout the day.
At 2m on both days, join us for a Trivia Battle for larger loot! Make sure your battle armor can get wet!
This year Silly Saturday is for all, though we may separate the Trivia Battles based on adventuring experience (age).
Mess Makers is every Wednesday in July from 2-3pm!
