“在图书馆，我们了解在夏季保持年轻心灵活跃的重要性，”卡尔加里公共图书馆首席执行官Mark Asberg表示。“这就是Ultimate Summer Challenge成为卡尔加里传统活动的原因。今年，我们将其打造为虚拟体验，以确保孩子和他们的父母拥有所有必要的工具，支持阅读，享受乐趣并与图书馆保持联系。”

学生可以记录阅读进度并参加创意和教育性活动。学龄儿童可以在家里记录高达40小时的阅读时间，并完成科学、技术、阅读、工程、艺术和数学（STREAM）活动以获得徽章。所有注册Ultimate Summer Challenge的人都有机会自动参加总奖的抽奖，赢得iPad和其他丰厚奖品。青少年被邀请参加Teen Takeover计划，并完成阅读目标和创意挑战以获得数码徽章，并有机会参与每周奖品抽奖和10台Chromebook总奖的抽奖。

如果你需要帮助为你的学生或孩子找到阅读材料，图书馆提供了几种资源。 Beanstack可以为各个年龄段提供定制化的阅读推荐。通过eResources，如Libby、TeenBookCloud、TumbleBook Library和BookFlix浏览图书馆庞大的电子书籍、数码音频书籍和儿童和青少年图像小说等收藏，孩子们在整个夏天都将拥有无尽的精彩阅读选择。此外，还有大量免费的eResources供学龄儿童在数字图书馆中体验有趣的学习。

在去年的挑战中，卡尔加里的孩子和青少年共记录了近30万小时的阅读时间，今年由于在家的更多时间，图书馆希望超过那个数字。

Ultimate Summer Challenge得到了J K L MacLachlan家族基金的支持。

Reading, learning, and creating with the Calgary Public Library’s Ultimate Summer Challenge is available online this summer. The challenge runs from June 1 to Aug. 31, and is an easy way for students to stay engaged this summer. Participation will support students’ literacy and address “summer slide” through curriculum-connected content and resources that set students up for success when September returns. Registration for this popular program is a free and now open. Help the Library spread the word about the Ultimate Summer Challenge and encourage students and caregivers to register today!

“At the Library, we understand the importance of keeping young minds active over the summer months,” says Mark Asberg, CEO, Calgary Public Library. “That's why the Ultimate Summer Challenge has become a Calgary tradition. This year, we’re making it a virtual experience to ensure that kids and their parents have all the tools they need to support reading, have fun, and stay connected to the Library.”

Students can track their reading and access creative and educational activities. School-age kids can earn badges by logging up to 40 hours of reading and doing STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities at home. Everyone who registers in the Ultimate Summer Challenge is automatically entered into the grand prize draw for an iPad and other great prizes. Teens are invited to join the Teen Takeover program and complete reading goals and creative challenges to earn digital badges, which count as entries into the weekly prize draws and the grand prize draw for one of 10 Chromebooks.

If you need help finding reading material for your student or child, there are several resources offered by the Library. Beanstack provides tailored reading recommendations for every age. Browse the Library’s vast collection of eBooks, digital audiobooks, and graphic novels for kids and teens through eResources like Libby, TeenBookCloud, TumbleBook Library and BookFlix, where kids will have an endless supply of great reads to choose from all summer long. There are also tons of other free eResources for school-age kids to check out in the Digital Library that make learning fun.
In last year’s challenge, Calgary kids and teens recorded nearly 300,000 hours of reading and, with more time at home this summer, the Library is hoping to beat that number.

The Ultimate Summer Challenge is supported by J K L MacLachlan Family Fund.
