How do I turn my NAPL Bucks into Prizes?
Yes, we're earning NAPL Bucks again this summer! All of our reading and the activities we participate in at the library earn us physical NAPL Bucks. In addition, there are milestones as we progress that earn us extra NAPL Bucks on top of what we would already be making by reading or attending programs! Pledging the number of books or minutes we read this summer is important and marks our completion of the Summer Reading Challenge. However, the Library has set goals on ReaderZone for each age group. These goals are how we earn a ton more NAPL Bucks!
NAPL Bucks may be spent at any time on prizes in your age group. For more information on NAPL Bucks bonuses and prizes, please see each age group's page.
