Ebooks!

This mission is especially for those of you who haven't read or listened to an electronic book, more commonly referred to as e-books. By downloading the Libby by Overdrive app onto your phone or tablet, you have access to thousands of books, some of which the Gloria Coles Flint Public Library doesn't own in print. You can also view/listen to these books on your computer as well. Be adventurous: read or listen to an ebook! 

Already a fan of e-books? Then this is a mission made for you!

I will survive!
All types of calamities can be found when exploring the great outdoors: getting lost in the middle of a national park, being chased by a dangerous wild animal, boating when a sudden storms blows in, and skiing when an avalanche strikes. I'm not sure about you, but I'd much rather read a book about survival than experience it firsthand!

Random Acts of Kindness

Small gestures make the most difference on a daily basis. It's easy to get so preoccupied with our own lives that we forget about others, but with just one simple act of kindness, we can change the way someone else's day goes, and we can better ourselves and the world in the process. This challenge is designed for you to take the time to do something for someone else — and hopefully they will pay it forward to the next person!
