Your child must have a valid Westwood library card to participate. Parents please register each child based on the grade they will enter in September. If you need a library card--email library@westwood.bccls.org
Step Two--After registering, keep logging your books online, attending a program or completing "On Your Own Time" activities. Participating in "On Your Own Time" activities is optional, but you will earn a digital raffle ticket for each completed activity. You may win a Grand Prize (2 admission tickets to ARENA STEM at the Garden State Plaza Mall). Each week we will track your program participation, completed activities and books read.
