Review of Summer Reading Programs for local friends

Every summer, I sign my kids up for MANY reading programs because reading is SO good for them and they enjoy it and you score lots of freebies! Thought I would jot down the programs we have done so far and the rewards so you can see if you would like to still participate- most programs run through  the end of July/beginning of August and there are very easy requirements that can be met in like a week at our house if your kids like to read or you like to read to them! I am So grateful because we live in a very good spot seeing as we are within 15 minutes of all these counties! P.s. You do not need to be a resident of the county to participate and you dont even have to have a library card there from what I could tell! And you can finish the whole reading sheet and get all the prizes at once if you want- it seems easier that way to me! And I usually try to sign up my younger two in the older kids program- they usually give you the option and there are a lot more prizes for the older option rather than the infant one! And as always their are expiration dates on these FREE coupons- most are good through at least September and some even through December~

DENVER COUNTY-
broken up in 3 sets of 6 books each, so a total of 18 books for all these prizes....
Set 1- backpack usually from the Rockies
Set 2- FREE Elitches Amusement Park ticket or a free book (Last year we got 4 free tickets for all 4 kids and (Ella was free because she was 3) andwe did not take Elijah because he was so little. They let us use the 2 extra tickets for Mark and I so it was a FREE day at the park!)
Set 3- Free book

Engelwood Library- not part of a county- its located off of Hampden and Santa Fe
broken up into 3 sections with 5 books each (total of 15 books)
Set 1- Free pass to Belleview Farm and a free admission to the Engelwood rec center (we will use this to go swimming there when its cold outside)
Set 2- Free pass to Cornerstone mini Golf and a free pass to Skate City
Set 3- Free bowl of Noodles (any size and with meat!) from Noodles and Company and a Free Burrito from Chipotle

Bemis Library- not part of a county but of of Caley Littleton Ave
This is the hardest out of them all but it goes pretty quickly..

Let me know if you have any questions!
