Teen Shelf Care Summer: The Daring Edition

Teen Shelf Care Summer: The Daring Edition!

Shelf Care Summer is back, and this year, we’re inviting teens to take on a new kind of reading challenge.  Aimed at ages 12 to 19, the "Daring Edition" encourages participants to step outside their usual reading habits through a series of light‑hearted challenges designed to be fun and flexible. We know summer is a busy time for teens, between work, camps, travel, and time with friends, so this program is designed to fit around real schedules. 

  • Teens can participate at their own pace, choosing the dares that interest them and completing them whenever they have a moment.
  • The program is entirely self‑led, giving participants the freedom to choose what they read, when they read, and how they approach each challenge. It’s a great option for teens looking for something creative to do over the break.  
  • With no required reading list and no pressure to keep up with others, the program focuses on exploration, enjoyment, and building confidence through small, achievable goals.

Register for the program at any SDG Library branch.  Once registered, teens will receive a welcome pack that includes everything they need to get started.  Each completed dare brings participants closer to prizes, including 3D printed items, a goodie bag for finishing the full card, and entries toward our end of summer grand prize draw. The more dares completed, the more chances to win!

~ Have a daringly fabulous summer!
