KQ Summer Reading Challenge
School may be out during the Summer, but reading shouldn't stop! Summer is a great time to read all those exciting books that you didn't have time to get to during the school year. Books can take you to fantastic places in your imagination, and KidsQuest wants to know all the places you travel! Starting June 7th, pick up a Reading Challenge Log at the Museum or download one here. Each time you complete a reading log and bring it back to KidsQuest you'll win a prize. Your summer reading can also help support KidsQuest.
