Robey Memorial Library invites young readers to embark on an exciting literary adventure with Reading Dragons and Friends! This imaginative program builds a love of reading while helping participants level up their skills—all while collecting and playing with dragon-themed cards.

Summer Reading (June–August)
From June through August, children can pick up a reading log at the library or print one from the library’s website to get started. Participants earn collectible dragon cards by logging their reading time in 30-minute increments. The cards feature eight majestic dragon families, including eggs, babies, teens, and adults.

Special Challenges
Throughout the year, RML offers special challenges that give readers additional opportunities to collect dragon cards and continue their reading journey.

Collect Them All!
During any Reading Dragons challenge, participants can log bonus reading time to collect dragon families they may have missed in the past.

Reading Dragons and Friends was developed by librarians Liz Strauss and Mallory Thompson at Dover Public Library (Ohio) and has captivated young readers nationwide by combining the magic of mythical creatures with the joy of reading.
