What to do (all ages)

Log activities between June 1 and August 1. You may only count one activity per day. You do not have to log activities on consecutive days. By logging only one activity a day, you can participate all summer long.

For every five activities you complete, earn a virtual badge, an entry ticket for the grand-prize drawings, and a coupon or small prize (there are five small prizes available).

Keep logging activities until August 1 for more grand prize entries (you can enter the grand prize drawing up to 13 times, including the Scavenger Hunt badge and badges earned for signup and completion). Pick up all prizes by Sat., August 8.

Adults and Teens – Get a custom, limited-edition "Bookivore" enamel pin when you earn 5 badges (while supplies last).
