AUBURN —
The Auburn Public Library’s 2023 Summer Safari Learning Challenge (SLC) will end July 31. The challenge will wrap up with the Summer Safari Learning Challenge Finale on July 27 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Boykin Community Center. All are invited to enjoy activities, games and free Kona Ice from 5 to 6 p.m. The event will close out with a Family Story Time from 6 to 6:30 p.m.
There is still time to join and log your reading! The challenge is simple — read or listen for at least 1,000 minutes during the SLC. That’s just 20 minutes a day, and you can backlog minutes read since June 1. Participants do not need a library card to join the challenge. All ages are eligible to participate.
This summer, participants can compete against other age categories for bragging rights for the most minutes read. Our goal is to reach 1 million minutes read overall. The age categories are: infant to 5 years, 6 to 11 years, 12 to 18 years and 19 and up. Those who complete the challenge by July 31 will earn a T-shirt and will be entered into the grand prize drawing! Grand prizes will be awarded in each age category.
