Kids, are you interested in reading some cool library books? Are you interested in earning a circus ticket at the same time? Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey and the Birmingham Public Library (BPL) will be hosting some serious fun with Out of This World @ Birmingham Public Library! The reading challenge is easy and fun for kids and teens to participate in. The best part is that kids ages 2-12 can earn a Ringling Bros. circus ticket by simply reading. All children through grade 12 can earn virtual badges and awards. Register online or at one of BPL’s 19 locations to join. 

Visit any BPL location to check out books and receive an achievement code for a special badge. All participants are automatically entered into a drawing for a prize gift pack. Prizes will be awarded at each of the 19 BPL locations.

Teachers and parents: This is a great way for students to earn extra credit during the holiday season and a wonderful way for parents to spend time with their children and enjoy reading together.
