TGIS

Thank Goodness It's Summer Reading Challenge is open to anyone with a Pickering Library card, between 13 and 19 years of age.

Starting July 2nd, register and participate throughout the summer by logging the books you read, writing book reviews, completing online challenges, and participating in our programs!

When you participate in the TGIS Reading Reading Challenge, you’ll get a shot at winning one of our AMAZING prizes.

Registration details will be released by July 2nd

Download the Bingo Card here! 

During TGIS, you can read any book (including comics, graphic novels, manga, eBooks, audiobooks, books you own, and so on). For a book to count towards earning badges, it must be a book you have read THIS summer.

• Once you have read a book (or certain number of pages), you can earn your badges on Beanstack. For every 15 pages you read, you will earn one badge, which gives you ONE ballot, for our draw. You can only earn the number of badges that are available during the challenge (up to 3000 pages for the entire summer).
• You can earn extra ballots by completing challenges on our bingo card. One bingo square = 1 extra ballot
• If you are keen on attending programs this summer, you will receive one bonus ballot per Teen program attended.

We have some cool prizes this year! Some of the prizes are:

Instant camera with film

S'mores kit

Speaker

Art set

*You will need a minimum of 5 ballots to be entered into our prize draw
