Tracking your reading!

You can begin tracking your reading starting June 17th. You can track your reading by picking up journals from the library (available June 17th) or you can print out journals at home. The last day to turn in your reading journals and redeem your library dollars is August 31st.

What are library dollars?

Library dollars are earned for reading 5 hours (ages 7-18) or by completing 10 early literacy activities (ages 0-6). You can use these dollars to buy prizes from the library!

This year, if you sign up and turn in just one complete journal, you get a children’s ticket to see the Portland Trailblazers!
