SPARK reading challenges engage readers to read every day. With a focus on science, play, arts, reading and knowledge, our SPARK program is designed to serve all ages with activities, challenges and prizes tailored to fit any age. Throughout the year, the Allen County Public Library hosts SPARK reading challenges where participants can earn free books and prizes!
