READING DRAGONS & FRIENDS

There’s a brand-new reading adventure at the Library!

The more time you spend reading, the more collectible cards you earn, featuring a variety of mythical creatures at different levels of power. Read all summer long to collect cards and build a powerful deck ready for battle. This program is perfect for fans of Pokémon, Adopt Me, Harry Potter/Percy Jackson fandoms, or gaming.

Who can collect cards? 
This program is designed for kids entering kindergarten through adults.  Adults: this is for you, too! Bask in the nostalgia of games and trading cards from your childhood. Have a kid who’s participating? Join the fun by collecting alongside them—plan family game nights, inspire your child to keep going, and model a lifelong love of reading.

How can I earn cards?
Beginning on Monday, June 30, pick up a starter pack of 3 Reading Dragons & Friends cards, rules for battle, and a tracker that shows you how to earn more cards. For every 30 minutes of reading, come to the library and choose a new card for your collection. Listening to audiobooks, graphic novels, magazines and reading with family and friends – it all counts toward your reading time. Special “rare” cards will also be available at certain events or unlocked as your collection grows. Cards will be available at the library through Sunday, August 31.

How do I play the card game?
Grow your collection of unique mythical creature cards and battle against the decks of friends or family members. Battle games are similar to Rock, Paper, Scissors, with some cards having more power than others.

Not into collecting cards? Teens and adults can grab a reading bookmark instead! Bring it to the library for a ticket each time you finish a book. Each ticket is a chance to win a raffle prize at summer’s end!
