Summer Reading is finally here!!! We have challenges for every age. Track your summer reading and earn prizes along the way! Each challenge has a paper version or you can track it all online at https://bowmanlibrary.beanstack.org.
Here is a little bit about each challenge being offered:
Pre-K: Complete the Activity Bingo card by choosing to read books to your child in ways that fit each of the 9 prompts. Once you have completed all 9, a blackout, turn it in, or contact the library to receive a prize! (Paper Version can be picked up at the front desk.)
Ages 5-12: Track 20 hours of summer reading and complete the included Activity Bingo card and earn prizes along the way! (Paper version can be picked up at the front desk.)
Ages 12-17 (Teens): Set your own reading goals and smash them! Once completed, contact the library for a prize! (Paper version can be picked up at the front desk.)
Ages 18+ (Adults): Read 6 books, each book having an option of 3 different keywords. You must pick a title that includes one of the keywords for each book. (Check out our new display for the paper version and some ideas to get you started!)
Sign up for Summer Reading at the front desk at the Library or at www.bowmanlibrary.beanstack.org! This year we are expanding the program to include all ages. Sign up for the adult, teen or children’s program.
Ok here’s your challenge: we’ve started this drawing now it’s up to you to finish it. How will you do that? Will you continue using a black marker and add more lines? A bevy of geometric motifs? Or will you add COLOR? Maybe just black, white and red? Or an explosion of the color wheel? It’s all up to you!
We want to see your finished work! Share on social media with the hashtag #BOCOmakeanddo
Curbside pickup begins on Wednesday, May 6th. ❤️
How do you use curbside pickup?
Reserve your items online at the library’s website using your library card. Go to www.bowmanlibrary.com and use our online catalog. Or call the library at 701-523-3797 from 10am – 2pm Monday – Wednesday.
We will bag your items and have them ready for pickup on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Pickup is from 11 am to 2 pm.
To keep this contact-free, your bagged items will be at the front of the library. Your bag will have the last four digits of your phone number written on it.
We reserve the right to tweak this process as we figure out the best way to serve you!
No returns accepted at this time. Keep any current items you have checked out right now and we will extend all due dates and make sure no fines accrue.
Be well.
