Reading Dragons
This Fall, I’m excited to announce that the Reading Dragons are back with a new look and brand new games to play!
Earn a new dragon card for every 30 minutes of reading. You can get 4 different dragons each month. That is a total of 16 cards a month! One card for every box on the tracker.
Where did the dragon cards come from? How are there so many different kinds? The original line art was designed by Ms. Mallory of the Children’s Department. The unique colors and themes for each dragon are then created by library staff. Sometimes, these designs are even based on patron ideas!
So how do you get a Reading Dragon? You start with an egg, and then you read to make it grow! It will hatch into a baby, then grow to a teenager, and then finally become an adult dragon. Then, you can start all over again with a new egg!
And now, Ms. Mallory has developed two new games to play with your dragons! The more you read, the more dragons you collect, the more fun you can have playing.
Stop by the Children’s Department at the Library to pick up your Reading Dragon tracker, game instructions, and some special starter cards!
