Take a road trip with the COD Library this summer!

Students, faculty, staff, and district residents are encouraged to participate in our summer reading challenge starting June 1. Grab a road map from any service desk in the Library and mark off a road segment for every day you read or complete an activity.

Visit various landmarks along the way, including the Statue of Liberty and the Grand Canyon, in order to collect prizes at the Reference desk. When you complete the road trip, you will be entered into a grand prize drawing!
