CHECKLIST OF THINGS TO REMEMBER!
1) Make sure your name is on your reading log.
2) Are all your books/pages listed on your log? We’ll be tallying up the number of books/pages and awards for the TOP READER in each library branch will be selected and the TOP READER in Bienville Parish will receive a special prize for your achievement!
3) If you’ve been keeping track of AR points, be sure to notate your points and total up how many points you’ve collected during the Summer.
DON’T FORGET TO SNAG ALL YOUR BRAG TAGS!
This reading incentive motivates your reader to read and collect all ten tags. It will impress teachers with how many books/pages they read during their summer vacation! While you’re collecting all ten brag tags, don’t forget to collect AR points. When you head back to school, you can show teachers that you’re ready for the new school year!
AWARDS DAY CEREMONY
Don’t forget – July 26, 27, & 28 will be Awards Day at your neighborhood Bienville Parish Library. We’ll select the top readers from each participating age group, and the top reader from each library branch! The trophy will go to the top systemwide reader – who will it be? Be sure to attend the Awards Day Ceremony at your neighborhood Bienville Parish Library!
SEE YOU AT THE LIBRARY!
