June 20-August 16: Reading Dragons and Friends
Reading Dragons is a deck building and battling game similar to Pokémon--with different types of creatures and the ability to evolve them and make them more powerful. To build your deck and evolve your creatures all you have to do is read! Every 20 minutes of reading can be used to either evolve a card or get a new one. The more you read, the more cards you can collect, and the more powerful you can make them! Please register.
You can pick up your dragon cards and tracking sheets at the Library's auxiliary space at the Town Office (12 Buck Hollow Road)!

The two winning cards will be turned into real reading dragon cards for you and your friends to play with and evolve!
