Cool Reads! Winter Reading for Kids
December 1 - February 15, 2021
Cool Reads! is a fun reading program that you can participate in from home! Choose to read any books you like. Read at your own pace. Keep track of the number of books that you read, or track the minutes that you spend reading, through READsquared or on a paper reading log.
Our winter reading program is available for two age groups.
Pre-K Kids (Ages 5 + Under)
Kids ages 5 and under should be registered for our Pre-K program. They will earn a point for every book they read or hear. At 100 points, they will complete the program.
School Age Kids (Ages 5 - 11)
School age kids should register for the Kids winter reading program. They will earn a point for every minute that they spend reading. When kids earn 540 points (or spend 9 hours reading) they have completed the program. Once school age kids complete the main program, they can unlock a secret Bonus Program for a chance to win a LEGO set and additional prizes!

Anyone participating in the Cool Reads! Winter Reading Program for kids will earn pencils, stickers, bookmarks, and food coupons for reaching reading milestones.
The more points earned, the more books can be bought in the READsquared Prize Store! A variety of prize books are available for kids of all ages.
