Ohio’s 529 Plan, CollegeAdvantage, supports many statewide outreach programs to encourage young, bright minds to see all of life’s educational possibilities.
This summer, we are proud to partner again with the Dayton Metro Library to support their Summer Challenge — “Adventure Begins At Your Library.”
Running from June 1 to July 31, Summer Challenge encourages families as they help children develop their love of reading by promoting a daily habit of reading or learning.
Simply track your daily progress to earn free books! You can earn a free book of your choice after 15 days of reading or learning, and again after 30 days. After 45 days of reading, you can earn a DML tote bag. All prizes will be available at Dayton Metro Library branches prior to Aug. 10. The prizes are available while supplies last.
You can register for “Adventure Begins At Your Library” Summer Challenge online or by calling (937) 463-2665.
Dayton Metro Library is also offering family events across all their branches to support the Summer Challenge and make reading fun for everyone. A list of all the library events is available. Don’t miss these special events:
