Participants that earn two gold medals will be awarded a voucher for a large cheese pizza from the Adams Pizza House or Pizza Dough Boys in Adams. This is limited to two pizzas per household.

 

"We have a wonderful collection of non-fiction books, and I hope this challenge encourages participants to further explore their interests or discover new passions," said Emily Brannan, the Children's Librarian. One book read in a category earns a Bronze Medal, two books read in a category earns a Silver Medal and three books read in a category earns a Gold Medal and a free book!" explained Brannan.

 

The 25 non-fiction categories include different kinds of animals, arts and crafts, video game characters, jokes and riddles.
