Communities Unite to Read!
Summer reading is heating up across Wheatland Regional Library branches this year! The inaugural Wheatland Reading Cup challenges communities to reach the summer reading goals set by their local branch library to be named the Wheatland Reading Champions. Everyone is encouraged to register using their Beanstack account or at their local library for this all-ages challenge before June 30, and all reading must be logged by September 5, 2023. Registration automatically enters individual readers in the regional grand prize draw for a Kobo Clara 2E reader with free access to eBooks and eAudiobooks through the built-in Overdrive software and their library card.
Wheatland Regional Library also supports the national TD Summer Reading Club (TD SRC) for children ages 0-12 years with a focus on keeping kids actively reading to beat the dreaded Summer Slide: playing catch-up at school in September and October to get back to the same reading level they left with at the end of June. Registered TD SRC readers will also be eligible for a regional grand prize draw for a $100 Chapters/Indigo gift card, and have their reading count towards their community’s reading goal for the Wheatland Reading Cup.
To find a library program near you, watch the progress of the Wheatland regional reading goal of 1,000,000 reading minutes, and see weekly community rankings in the Wheatland Reading Cup challenge visit www.wheatland.sk.ca/summerprograms.
