Summer Reading 2023!
Little Shop of Stories is revamping our Summer Reading Challenge for 2023! We now have three new challenges that are fun for the whole family. Materials for each of the challenges are available here at Little Shop of Stories!
Our Wee Reads program is a family reading challenge designed for those with children ages 0-5. Follow our treasure map of reading challenges, completing each book and activity prompt along the way. When you've done all ten, bring your map back to the shop to collect your prize!
Our Summer Reads program is for children ages 6-12. Collect sticker badges for reading books that correspond with prompts we've given. When you've reached the halfway point and collected 5 badges, you are eligible for the first prize. When you've completed the challenge and collected all 10 badges, you are eligible to receive the second prize!
Our Teen and Adult Programs are for those 13 and up. Complete BINGO by reading 5 books that align with the prompts on our BINGO sheet. Once you've gotten BINGO, bring your sheet back to the shop to collect your prize!
Our summer reading program officially launches May 20th, but adults and teens can begin picking up their BINGO sheets on May 1st. We are also offering summer reading book bundles for Wee Reads and Summer Reads available for purchase beginning May 1. These bundles include three hand-selected books that correspond with our prompts and a string backpack for carrying--perfect for road trips and family vacations! Bundles available for pick-up beginning May 20th. All bundles purchased prior to May 15th include an exclusive invitation to our Summer Reading Kick-Off pancake breakfast on May 20th.
BINGO sheets, book bundles, and all other Summer Reading materials are for in-store pick up only. Come in and say hello so we can see your smiling summer faces!
