Duck Reading

Waddle on over to Kapolei Public Library and go quackers over books!  From March 11 – 30, children from babies through 12 years old can earn prizes – just by reading!  Children may earn prizes  by tracking minutes spent reading.  Prizes will be awarded to children who read 5, 10, and 15 hours during this 2-week program.  Prizes may vary while supplies last.  Children may enter or claim their prizes anytime during library open hours, starting on March 11.  See staff at the Children’s Reference Desk for details.

Parents are encouraged to read to their children who can’t or need help reading.
