What is Reading Dragons and Friends?
Reading Dragons and Friends is a fun way to motivate children and adults to build positive reading habits. Patrons of all ages can join. This program rewards participants for time spent reading. Everyone is encouraged to read at their own pace, strengthen reading skills, and make time to read regularly.
Reading Dragons and Friends are collectible cards featuring mythical creatures like dragons, unicorns, griffins and more. Participants track the time they spend reading in 30 minute increments to earn cards. Play games with the cards and try to collect them all!
