Mayor Boughton's Reading Challenge

Books"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Read!"
For kids entering grades 1-8
June 22 - August 8, 2009

Let’s show Mayor Boughton that Danbury kids are the best readers in the state of Connecticut! Be sure to pick up a Live Green, Read Green brochure in the Junior Department, or click here to print one out. Complete the reading log with your name and your own weekly reading goal. To be eligible for the Mayor’s Challenge, kids entering grades 1-5 must set their goal to read at least 1 hour each week for 7 weeks, and for those kids entering grades 6-8 you must read at least 2 hours each week for 7 weeks.
Once you have completed your reading each week, bring your log to the library, and you’ll receive a special prize and a ticket for exciting grand prizes. The drawings for the grand prizes will be held on Tuesday, August 11.
Mayor Boughton will receive a list of those who successfully complete his challenge, and each reader will receive an invitation to join Mayor Boughton for an exclusive recognition event in August!
Let’s get reading!
