That’s a wrap!
Thank you to all the readers, families, classrooms, and libraries who took part this year. We’ve loved seeing the reading minutes climb, the badges claimed, the bulletin boards, the artwork, and the incredible enthusiasm from communities across the north.
If you haven’t already, today’s the day to:
• log final reading minutes
• claim badges
• submit any last contest entries
Most of all—thank you for reading, sharing stories, and making time for books.
Visit the Northern Reading Program website in late February or early March to see contest entries and winners.
Keep an eye on your mail — books and other great rewards will be heading out in early March. 💜
