May 30, 2019
As the school year comes to an end and the unofficial start to summer arrives, Richland Library is encouraging local residents to keep their minds active and engaged over the next three months. From June 1 – August 18, we’re inviting children, teens and adults to take part in the 2019 Summer Learning Challenge.
Sign up online at richlandlibrary.com/summer and earn one point for:
- every 30 minutes that you read
- every library program that you attend
There are hundreds of programs – all free and open to the public – to choose from this summer. Visit richlandlibrary.com to see what’s happening at each of our library locations.
After accumulating 30 points, claim a prize at any Richland Library location. Prizes include a reading medal, light-up ball, pair of sunglasses, book light, phone charger, and coupons to a Columbia Fireflies game, the South Carolina State Fair, and the Friends and Foundation book sale.
Participants also have the option to forgo a prize and Read It Forward where Richland Library donates a book to a local non-profit on their behalf.
More than 20,000 people signed up for the 2018 Summer Learning Challenge. Good luck, and we can’t wait to see you at the finish line!
