Are You Up for a Challenge?
Summer’s in full swing and our Teen Summer Reading Challenge (SRC) is too!
You may have participated in SRC when you were younger, but did you know that we also have an SRC Program just for teens? With hot Summer Reads to explore and a whole lineup of teens-only free workshops and activities, why not sign up for a chance to earn prizes, too?
It’s not too late to sign up, and it only takes a minute – here’s a little more information about Teen SRC 2024!
How to Sign Up for SRC
You can sign up at the Teen or Youth Services Desk at CCJPL! Your librarian will ask you a few questions to get you signed up, and then you can receive your SRC Challenge Card and Registration Prize at the Teen Desk.
How to Use your Challenge Card
Your Challenge Card is your personal point tracker for SRC. You can get points for logging time spent reading, Library Programs you attend, or by completing Bonus Quests! Bonus Quests include everything from art projects to checking out a new genre of book, writing your own urban legend, trying a new food, or going on a hike!
Each time you mark off a new goal on your point tracker, be sure to tally up your points! (You’ll need to report your points to the Teen Desk at CCJPL by July 24, 2024 or earlier. Bring in your Challenge Card and show it to a librarian so we can put your points on the leaderboard!) However, don’t feel like you have to do EVERYTHING on your point tracker – start with the challenges that seem like the most fun to you, and then curate your own SRC experience!
How to Earn Prizes
Ok, here’s the big question: how can I win as many prizes as possible this Summer?
- Every Teen who registers for SRC can pick up a Registration Prize at the Teen Desk.
- Every Teen who reports at least 100 points total to the Teen Desk by July 24th can pick up a Completion Prize.
- The top ten point-earners (with points reported by July 24th) will receive an invitation to the Teen End-of-Summer Lock-In Party.
- The top two point earners (with points reported by July 24th) will each win a Grand Prize, for first and second place, respectively.
To be clear, Teens can continue to report points to the Teen or Children’s Desk as frequently as needed – just make sure you report all points you’ve earned by or before July 24th for them to count! Even once you pick up your Completion Prize at the 100 point marker, you can continue to report points up until that deadline to try to win a Grand Prize!
So, what are you waiting for? It’s not too late to join in the fun!
Adventure begins at your Library this Summer – we’ll see you there!
