Time to turn in library books!
Monthly Challenge
May 2026
Throughout the Year 2026
This year our reading challenge will occur between August and December and we will start something new in 2027. We are so excited to read about our country and learn a little something new.
Each month that the students read one of the books on the topic for the month, they will receive a USA keychain. In December we will have a hot chocolate and cookie celebration for anyone who completed all the challenges!
Our community is welcome to join us! Grab a great book on the topic, then find our challenge post on facebook and post a picture of the book you finish. Also, stop by and have some coffee and chat about your book. The students would love to see you!
America's Wild Places
Need a recommendation for our September challenge of America's Wild Places? Try Eye Witness National Parks. This Nonfiction books is full of amazing facts and beautiful pictures about our National Parks. Maybe you will even find some to visit
Congratulations to our first September Completer!
Great job Jakson! He completed The Campground Kids Grand Canyon Rescue by C.R. Fulton. This book is found in the adventure fiction section of the library and is a great choice about one of the wild places of the USA. Jakson said he learned that it is hotter in the bottom of the canyon than the top. Interesting!
The Long Fight for Freedom and Justice
Need a recommendation for our August challenge?
Mrs. Chaney, our Teacher Librarian, recommends trying Property of the Rebel Librarian. This is a book about the right to read and the fight against banning books. You will find it in the Realistic Fiction section.
Congratulations to our first August Completer!
Great job Aidan! He completed I Survived the American Revolution by Lauren Tarshis. This book is found in the historical fiction section of the library and is a great book to learn a little bit about America's fight for freedom.
Summer Challenge
Last summer we worked on a bingo card. We read in different places and different genres.
This year we want to spend TIME reading. Our challenge is for you to read 20 minutes a day for 50 days OR 1,000 minutes this summer. Come by the school office and pick up a page, or save the picture and edit digitally. Color in a book for every 20 minutes you read and tell us what you read for that 20 minutes. It can be books, comics, the newspaper, magazines, or even audiobooks if you read along. Turn in your sheet the first week of school or anytime in August to the school office for a prize and to be entered in the drawing for a bigger prize! Happy Reading!
Throughout the Year 2025-2026
This year our reading challenge will be happening all school year with a new topic each month.
When a student finishes the monthly challenge, they can come talk to the librarian about the book they finished. They will receive a water bottle sticker and a button to attach to their backpack.
Collect 8 of the 10 buttons by the end of the year and get invited to the end-of-the-year Reading Challenge Party!
Let's get started!
Need a recommendation for our October challenge?
Mrs. Chaney, our Teacher Librarian, recommends trying The Light in the Forest by Conrad Richter. You will find it in the Classic section.
Congratulations to our first October Completer!
Great job Easton! He completed The Marching Band Nerds Handbook: Rules from the 13th Chair Trombone Player by DJ Corchin. This book is hilarious, especially if you are in band.
