We have some great prizes for kids this year!

Finishing Prize: Paperback book of your choice and a mini pop-it. Children two and under will receive a board book and a squishy toy.

In addition, children who are AAPLD cardholders and finish the program will receive entries into one of four prize baskets. We will be doing a raffle for two $50 Amazon gift cards, one Cozy Candy prize basket, and one stuffed animal prize basket. Children can also complete a bonus log to earn additional entries into the raffles.
