Weekly Challenges
Stop by the SRC Desk and participate in a new contest every week for your chance to win a $5 Giant Tiger Gift Card, donated by Giant Tiger Acton. Design a mermaid tale, write a comic strip, or design a bookmark are just a few of the fun challenges you'll get to do!
Community Challenge: Splash a Librarian
On the wall near the SRC desk, there will be a rising tide tracker, for our Splash a Librarian challenge. We will be tracking how many readers successfully complete the SRC (earn all three milestone prizes), and if enough readers raise the tide by completing the challenge, librarians will be splashed at the SRC closing parties! If anyone is interested in volunteering to cool off on a hot summer day, let us know and you could be splashed too!
Don't miss our Closing Parties!
