Children's Program

During the summer months in June, July, and August, the Library's Summer Reading Programs occur. View information on them at www.apl.org/summer.

Parents: during registration you can create your account first and then link any child accounts as desired; that way you can toggle through everyone's accounts with just your login. This is even more convenient using the APL App.

Be Excited About Reading!

Complete five activities across, vertically, or diagonally to get BINGO! You may read to yourself, read to someone else or listen to books. You may complete five BINGOs for up to five spins of the wheel. Five BINGOs also earns a chance at a final drawing. A blackout on the BINGO board earns a second chance in the drawing. One BINGO sheet per child. November 30 is the last day to pick up prizes.  Registration is required. 

This program is ideal for students in classroom settings. Exceptions for prize pickup after November 30 will be made for teachers who are picking up prizes for their students.
