Kids, Share Your Learning and Enter to Win a Laptop

Calling all Earth Explorers: Send us a video sharing what you read or learned this summer and you'll be entered in a drawing for a laptop.

How do I participate?

Make a video sharing something you read or learned during the Summer Learning Challenge.

Using a smartphone, tablet or other device.

Don’t know what to say? Here are some ideas:

  • Include a shout-out to your library branch.
  • If you're sharing a book, include the title and author.
  • Share your favorite part of what you read or learned.
  • Explain why you would recommend what you read or learned to a friend.
  • Tell what's new or interesting about what you learned.

Don't want to show your face? Film the cover of the book or your creations while you talk from behind the camera.

We are no longer accepting video submissions.
