FOR TWEENS AND TEENS Ages 11 through 19 the theme is: UNMASK! Tweens and Teens can read books, magazines, comics, newspapers, websites—you name it—to win prize tokens. Participating teens can win prizes in two ways. First, teens will earn a token for every four hours of reading. Prizes cost 1, 3 or 6 tokens each (depending on the prize) and include candy, games, autographed books, ear buds and more. Each participant can earn up to 16 prize tokens. Second, teens can read a book that fits into one of four categories: REAL HERO, FICTIONAL HERO, UNMASK YOUR TALENT, and SUPERHERO OR VILLAIN. When teens read a book in one of these categories, the library will punch an official UNMASK! game card and provide a raffle ticket to enter a drawing for one of our awesome prize packages. And teens get a BONUS raffle ticket if they read a book from all four categories! Prizes include two 3-day passes to ComicCon this October in Manhattan, a gift bag from Pink On Palmer, and more! FOR CHILDREN the theme is: SUIT UP YOUR SUPER DOG! Kids can win prizes for reading all summer long reading about their favorite super heroes and more! Readers will get a prize for every three hours spent reading, and beginning readers earn prizes for every two hours spent reading. For this part of the game, kids choose what they read and log time spent reading in an online log on the library’s website. If kids seek an extra challenge and the chance to win prizes donated from local stores, they can pick up a SUPERDOG GAME SHEET at the library. Then they read from our lists of approved titles and earn raffle tickets that can then be used to toward a random drawing for prizes.
