Patch Club Resumes September 5!

School is back in session and Reading Patch Club will be, too! Sign-up starts the day after Labor Day, on Tuesday September 5 and will run through May 25, 2018. Children in Kindergarten through 8th grade are welcome to join!

How does Patch Club work? 

  • Come to the Youth Services Desk and choose one patch to work towards.
  • Younger readers in the "Read to Me" club have 30 books read to them.
  • Older readers completing the "Reading On My Own" club read eight books in a specific genre; these should be chapter books or blue-level easy readers.
  • Books may be from the Algonquin Area Public Library, another library, or from home.
  • If a child earns five patches during the school year, they will receive a special tote bag (limit one bag per child per lifetime).
  • Patches unfinished as of May 25, 2018 may be finished in September 2018.
  • Participation is limited to Algonquin Area Public Library cardholders.
