2. Read and Explore Read and explore the dares throughout the summer. Use the Summer Dare Log to track your reading minutes or record them online at SummerDare.CRlibrary.org. Stop by the Library each week to receive (or enter to win) the Treat of the Week, take part in amazing programs and activities, and check out more reading material—we dare you!

3. Complete the program Read 600 minutes between June 5 and July 30 to complete the Summer Dare. Stop by the Library to pick up your free book or Friends Book Nook coupon and turn in your final reading numbers. Keep reading—get a free book for each additional 300 minutes you read by July 30.
