Step Into Adventure with our New Walking Contest

Sign up here for our new walking contest, which begins on May 31!

Virtually follow Zebulon Pike’s exploration of Southeast Kansas. We will learn about his life and legacy, and about other adventure stories set in Kansas.

All participants will earn a t-shirt and pedometer just for signing up, and will be invited to our reception after the contest’s end. Winners will earn a prize book that fits with the theme, along with an additional prize.

NEW: You may create your own team or join another user-created team. You may also choose which library team to join, if you want.

The Reader Zone app will have new updates soon, which will allow users to enter 5 digits at once. Now we can log all our steps in one entry! We will also change our format to a more user-friendly experience on Reader Zone, thanks to the updates.

If you prefer, you may fill out a paper form in the library. Call us or email Miss Val if you have questions.

We hope to start walking with you soon!

We are seeking sponsors to help pay for our program t-shirts, pedometers, and prizes. Click here to learn more.
