There is also a reading challenge that teens may participate in, even if they do not attend the weekly programs.  For every 3 hours spent reading, participants will get a small prize, up to five prizes.  For every 15 hours spent reading, participants will get an entry in the grand prize drawing.  The grand prize is a Samsung Galaxy 7" tablet.  Reading logs will be given out on the first day of the program at each branch, and are due back at the library by July 24th.  The grand prize winner will be selected and contacted on Monday, July 28th.  The Benton and Haughton branches will also have reading logs available.

If you have any questions, please contact Tonya Oswalt at the Bossier Central Branch.
