How it Works:
- Register for an account. Your child needs to live in Lake County, or attend a Madison school, Chester Area School, or Oldham-Ramona School. Your child does not need to have a library card.
- Start reading! Books, graphic novels, magazines, eBooks, audiobooks and newspapers all count!
- Log in to your account, record your reading and earn points for pizza!
- Every minute you read = 1 point.
- Every 1400 minutes of reading will earn you a free 14-inch single topping pizza from The Office
- Once you have 1400 points go to Prize store in the app and buy the free pizza.
- Come to the Library and pick up your free 14-inch single topping pizza certificate to The Office
