Dare to explore, Read City!

Join us for our most exciting challenge yet! Bring your curiosity and sense of adventure as you complete fun, exploratory missions to "level up" and earn prizes at the library. Mayor Jacobs has challenged us to complete 100,000 missions in 2024.

What's different this year? You'll complete literacy activities that include creating a game character, drawing, reading, writing, and exploring, instead of logging reading time. Complete as few as 5 missions to earn a prize from the "loot box". 

Get ready for epic summer adventure in the Quest for Knowledge game. It's simple to play and, most importantly, fun!

Complete literary missions like listening, exploring, playing, crafting, and of course, reading. Our amazing summer programming is back, and every time you attend counts as a mission towards your goal.

Every 5 missions you complete, earn a "loot box" prize from the library. If you complete 25 missions (all 5 levels), earn a bonus achievement prize. Kids and teens earn a prize pack that includes treats and adventures from area businesses and organizations. Adults earn a tote bag. 

Our first challenge of the year was such a success, thanks to you! Together, we completed nearly 30,000 missions in the Daring Deeds Adventure Game. 

Our real-life adventurers Amelia, David, Jacques, Sophia, Matthew, and Neil inspired us to be curious, bold, and brave as we explored new books, literary genres, forms of response, resources, and programs. Way to go, Read City!

We can't wait for our summer adventure to begin.
