When you close your eyes can you conceive, a path to the Land of Make Believe?
As always, a quick reminder first on how to sign up if you haven't! If you're all set, jump ahead to this week's challenge!

As the tutorials above will show you, logging your reading earns you badges and tickets. You can use these tickets for drawings for prizes. Additionally, you can do activities to earn more badges and tickets, and more chances to win.
Have you taken advantage of our curb side pick-up of books yet? If not, you can check out details here on how to get your books.
If you watch a virtual program with a story included, it counts towards your logged reading and activity badges. Virtual programs have their own activity badges, so when you go online to watch, look for the corresponding badge and activity through Beanstack. The calendar will give you a hint for the badges to look for.
Each week we'll highlight an activity badge and activities, but keep in mind, you can work on these badges at any time during our summer reading challenge.
This week, we'll focus on the Land of Make Believe Activity Badge and all of the virtual programs that accompany this. You will find these on Beanstack when you click on the tab for Activity Badges.
If you have an elementary, middle school, or teen reader who is logging minutes read, scroll until you see this picture:
