What can I win?
We have two types of prizes each week:
- Weekly Grab Bag Raffles: All registered participants will be automatically entered into Weekly Grab Bag Raffle drawings to win fun surprises, which are usually mystery bags filled with crafts, stickers, and even stuffies. 🤩
- Weekly Grand Prize Raffles: Each week during Summer Reading, we will also email all our participants with a list of that week’s Grand Prizes. All participants — regardless of how much or how little you’ve read! — can select up to 3 Grand Prize choices each week and be entered into a special Weekly Grand Prize drawing.
Weekly prize drawings will begin the week of June 23rd.
