Grand Island, NE — The Grand Island Public Library has announced Reading Dragons, a new reading incentive program for kids ages 5-17, to kick off at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, August 31, at the library.
This reading incentive program, which originates from the Dover Public Library in Dover, OH, encourages kids to track their reading and earn dragon trading cards through the month of April 2027.
At the August 31 kickoff, participants will receive a dragon tracker, a fun, foldable brochure where they can log their reading sessions, and a deck of 12 starter cards. Kids who can’t attend the kickoff may still sign up for the program and receive a dragon tracker and starter pack at the Children’s Desk after August 31.
For every two hours readers complete on their dragon tracker, readers will receive a family of four cards showing the egg, baby, teen, and adult creature. There will also be several holographic cards made each month; you may be one of the lucky dragon trainers to receive one. Some exclusive cards will only be handed out at library events.
For more information on these programs, visit the library’s website at https://www.gilibrary.org or call Laura Fentress, Youth & Family Services Librarian at 308-385-5333.
The Grand Island Public Library serves both residents of the City of Grand Island and Hall County. Anyone who lives in or owns property anywhere within Hall County may apply for a library card at no cost.
