We know that we have a bunch of super readers in Des Plaines!
Rocky Raccoon is all about reading. After all he IS the mascot of the Des Plaines Public Library's school-year reading programs (Patch Club and 1KB4K).
And he wants you to keep up the good work you are doing during the stay-at-home order.
Even though the library building is closed right now, Rocky Raccoon has a mission for all to do from the safety of your home.
Your mission is as follows . . .
1. Keep up your reading for Patch Club and 1KB4K!
We cannot wait to see you all when we open, to collect those logs and bookmarks!
Check out our databases, like Tumblebooks and Hoopla, which offers you tons of listening and reading resources.
2. Color a picture of our favorite raccoon, Rocky!
An early reader that is avaiable on Hoopla to read (ebook).
One does need a Des Plaines Library card to access Hoopla, and then create a user name and password. The best part is there is no waiting with Hoopla. Just download and start reading.
