Winter Reading

Stop by to get your Winter Reading Log at the Youth Services desk! 

We have changed things up a bit this year for winter reading. PreK-5th grade will have the opportunity to read, visit museums, and attend programs to work towards completing their winter reading log. Each completed log will count as a raffle ticket to our Grand Prize Drawing which includes Barnes & Noble Gift Cards, Starbucks Gift Cards, 2 Tickets to the Penguin Encounter at Shedd Aquarium, and a One Year Family Pass to the DuPage Children's Museum. Teens, grades 6 & up will have the additional opportunities to enter their raffle with the completion of the reading log that include museum visits, volunteering, attending programs, and submitting a book review for our blog. 

Ask Youth Services Staff for more details! 

Winter Reading runs until March 4th!
