Library hosting Summer Challenge

It’s challenge time.

Jay County Public Library has launched its Summer Challenge.

This year’s challenge asks patrons to read 20 minutes a day and complete six activities. Activity cards are available at the library and online at jaycpl.lib.in.us.

There will also be weekly pop-up challenges on Mondays at the library and on its Facebook page.

The library’s community goal is to reach 15,000 items checked out during the challenge. For each 1,000 items checked out, 30 pounds of pet food will be donated to Jay County Humane Society and Midwest Pet Refuge.

Participants will have the opportunity to win a variety of prizes.

The Summer Challenge begins June 7. Cards must be completed and turned in to the library by 1 p.m. July 17.
