To let the Library know which of the color filled activities are of interest please ask a circulation clerk to put child’s first name and a phone number on the sign up clipboard. This is just so ample creative materials will be available that day.
Children may “spend” tokens however they wish. For instance, more than one of each activity may be completed. Into rocks? Make more than one. Want to tie-dye a shirt and socks, Read, earn, and make it happen.
Activities not of interest may be skipped.
Children trade in tokens the day of the activity but may continue to earn tokens until July 29th.
Leftover tokens can be used like Legos.
