Time to gather ‘round! November is Family Stories Month when we celebrate our histories and stories passed down from generations. Tales of laughter, adventure, and love can carry us through the years.
Record your origin story, listen to stories from loved ones, and read books about families of all shapes and sizes.
Log your reading and activities to earn badges throughout the challenge and earn a chance to win a Family Fun gift basket.
Available at all branches for all ages!
Participate virtually via Beanstack, pick up a challenge log from any SCLS branch, or print the attached log at home.
