Start a

Reading Streak!

In Alice Ozma's book, The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared, Alice and her father started a "reading streak." They made a promise to read together 10 minutes a day for 100 days. To find out more about their reading streak, visit Alice's website.

Reading is a wonderful way to spend time with someone: a parent, grandparent, sibling, friend, teacher or co-worker. Find a partner, set a goal and start your own reading streak! You can read anything, any time of day, in any place you like. Check the public or school library for reading suggestions, or start with a favorite of your own.

You can start your own reading streak. Here's how:

  • Pick up a Reading Streak Promise form at any SCPL Library, or download one.
  • Fill out the form with the names of the participants and your own personal goal.
  • Drop it off at any SCPL Library. You and your reading partner(s) will receive an incentive when you sign up.
  • Return to the library when you complete your streak and you will receive a special prize!

School and other organizations wishing to start a group reading streak, should contact Karen Bradley at 518.388.4533, kbradley@mvls.info or Serena Butch at 518.388.4513.
