Fall Break Reading Challenge Set By Forsyth County Public Library

The Forsyth County Public Library is hosting a reading incentive challenge for kids and teens to encourage children to read for fun.

CUMMING, GA — Looking for something fun and educational to do with your kids this fall break? Forsyth County Public Library will be hosting a reading incentive challenge for kids and teens ages 0-18. Running through Wednesday, Sept. 29, this program will encourage kids to read what they want, as opposed to what they might have to read for school.

The "Kids' Choice: Fall Break Reading Fun" program will be simple and easy. All reading and activities can be logged using the Beanstack Tracker app, available for all mobile devices in the App Store and Google Play. Kids earn points for reading books of their choice and completing optional activities like sharing a book with someone special, illustrating a book cover, and visiting the library.

For every 100 points they earn, up to 500 points, kids can earn a ticket into the grand prize drawings for five different grand prizes which are:
