1. Q: When can we sign up?
A: Anytime starting June 9th. Just visit your local KDL branch library.
2. Q: My child is too young to read by herself. Can she still participate?
A: Yes, younger kids can be read to by adults or older siblings. Just follow the "pre-reader" instructions in the reading log.
3. Q: Do we have to read library books?
A: No, any reading material is ok as long as your child is reading at his or her reading level. Audio books and magazines count too!
4. Q: We won't be able to attend the programs. Can we still participate?
A: Yes, the programs are just for fun!
5. Q: Will we have to report on the books we've read?
A: No, the Summer Reading Club is run on the honor system, although parents do need to sign off on the reading log when kids turn it in to collect prizes and enter the drawings.
6. Q: I won't be here this summer because I'm visiting my grandparents or a parent who lives in another state. What should I do?
A: Virtually every public library in the U.S. has a summer reading club. Almost every town you visit will have a public library with a reading club and programs for kids that you can join. Thirty-two states are participating in the same collaborative summer theme --"Catch the Reading Bug @ Your Library!"
7. Q: Do we have to wait until August 2nd to collect our prizes?
A: No, come in whenever you have added enough stickers to your log, but feel free to keep reading!
8. Q: How do we determine an appropriate reading goal for my child?
A: The reading log consists of a calendar that you can add stickers to for each day that you accomplish a reading activity. Activities can be things such as reading, listening to a story, or attending a KDL program.
