Sign up for the JCPL Summer Challenge

Registration continues for the 2016 Summer Challenge reading program at Jay County Public Library with a focus on health and wellness.
Activity cards can be picked up at the library at 315 N. Ship St. in Portland. The cards will offer ways to stay active, explore the area and follow interests.
For each card completed, participants will get to enter five times in a drawing for prizes and get to choose which organizations receive $500 in donations. The organizations include Pregnancy Care Center, Youth Service Bureau and Jay County Cancer Society — the organization with the most votes will receive $300 and the other two will get $100 each.
Participants will receive a free t-shirt for completing all four cards and a chance to enter the grand prize drawing.
Prizes will include exercise DVDs, a Patriot Sports gift card, a Fitbit and a 2016-2017 Jay County High School sports family pass.
The teen grand prize is a Fitbit and the children’s grand prize is a small trampoline.
