Book Badgers

The badgers are coming to Cook Memorial Library - The BOOK BADGERS, that is. The Children's Department has a reading club for kids who read entirely on their own.

Join this special reading club and become a BOOK BADGER.   Choose a genre (a kind of book: fantasy, folk/fairy tale, sports, scary stories, picture books, readers, non-fiction, for example).  Read 12 books of one genre and write the titles, authors and call numbers on your reading sheet.

Anyone who can read independently and has not completed 8th grade is welcome to join.  BOOK BADGERS must read books borrowed from the Library or the Bookmobile.  They may not be titles you have read before.  Book lists are here for many of the genres and we are happy to help you find some good stories.

For each genre completed between September and May you will receive a different "sew-on" patch. (badge).  Sew them on your jacket or a vest or even a stuffed animal.  Emerge from your burrows this spring with colorful badges and some great "reads"!
