Reading finds a way

When it comes to reading, there's no such thing as an extinction event! Once you've turned in your activities sheet and collected your prize, vote for the library's Columbus Zoo and Aquarium sponsor animals. The choices are: capybara, cownose stingray, Komodo dragon, ostrich. For an additional vote, take a Roar On form, pick three of the listed activities and return the form when you've completed them.

Weekly prize drawings

Would you rather have claws or horns? Who would win: a Dilophosaurus or an Iguanadon? Answer silly questions like these and, in return, you could win roar-some prizes! Pick up your ticket sheet at any library location. To participate each week, cut out the current week's ticket, fill out the contact information and take it to the library to submit your answer. No matter your answer, you'll be entered in the week's drawing. There will be one winner per library.
