Have you been reading intently, studiously filling out your paper Summer Game (SG) Reading Log, eagerly anticipating FAME, FORTUNE and PRIZES when you turn that lovely card in to AADL staff?

Well, we can't promise you the FAME and FORTUNE part of things — though that coupon for fine forgiveness might help you with your budget — but we CAN deliver you some FABULOUS prizes!

Coupons from our AMAZING, GENEROUS SUMMER GAME SPONSORS are arriving at the Downtown Library and Branches — and everyone (adults, teens and kids) gets to choose one when they turn in their game card!

This year we've been working to give you CHOICES GALORE! After completing the your SG Reading Log, you can claim one coupon.

Choices are:

1. AADL Fine Forgiveness
2. Zoom Lends DVD rental
3. A coupon from one of many local businesses, on a first-come-first-serve basis

Currently the Downtown Library and branches have coupons from

Barry Bagels

There is now a code at Great Harvest Bread Co.!!!

And of course, any kid or teen who completes their Reading Log still gets a FANTASTIC, NEW BOOK thanks to the support of The Friends of the AADL and the Scott and Mary Westerman Fund.

Be sure to stop in to those six local shops who've donated prizes and look for a Summer Game code to earn more points... and May the Odds be Ever in Your Favor!

Thanks for all of the great prize options, AADL!!

The book prizes options are

The book prizes options are quite good. It's often hard to decide which book to take home :)

I was just starting the Srira-cha-cha badge, and the when I clicked on the first code it said "code is not recognized". Could it just be too early since there hasn't been an official badge drop today?

Thank you local supporters!

Some great prizes so far!

The Zingerman's code, is it

The Zingerman's code, is it at a specific Zingerman's?

@AprilCDB I haven't gotten

@AprilCDB
I haven't gotten the Zingerman's code yet, but I know that for Barry's Bagels and Nicola's I had to go into the stores to find each of their codes.

Yes, I got both of those

Yes, I got both of those codes too. Thanks. I'm just wondering if I have to go to the Zingerman's downtown or if I can go to one of their other locations.

Good question. If you find

Good question. If you find out please share the news.

Downtown is the only location

Downtown is the only location that has a code.

Thank you, I figured as much

Thank you, I figured as much but thought I'd check first as some of the other locations are more convenient for me to visit.

Yes, at the deli in

Yes, at the deli in Kerrytown. It should be displayed soon if not already! Thanks for playing!

Thanks for a great game. My

Thanks for a great game. My kids and I especially are enjoying going to the various parks around town.

The parks are the best part

@Latitude, You know what?

@Latitude, You know what? That's the way *I've* always said it too, but I think it's just that Michigan thing of calling things possessive when they aren't (Meijer vs Meijer's and Kroger vs. Kroger's). ;D

Their actual official name is indeed just Barry Bagels (no S or possessive!).

Thanks for the great prizes!

My daughter and I were at

My daughter and I were at Zingerman's today after enjoying the fairy festivities at the Sunday Artisan Market, and there was no code to be found. The first few people we asked had no idea what we were talking about, then someone told us to go to the house next door but it wasn't there, so more nice people tried to figure out what we were talking about. Finally a man who works there said his wife is very into the summer game and he came to our rescue. After checking various things on his phone and leading us all around the deli with no success, he simply gave us the code. I hope other people don't make a special trip there without finding the code or the nice employee who's name I never did get......

@ Zekicmom, I did find the

@ Zekicmom, I did find the Zingerman's code at the house next door. It was on the back bulletin board by the back door. I only had to ask one person, who directed me to the house next door and when I walked in I found it pretty quick and easily without asking anyone else. I have found some employees don't know what I'm asking about and try to give me directions to the nearest library branch. I usually end up showing them an example of what I'm looking for and then they realize what I'm talking about.

In the main deli they told me

In the main deli they told me it was on the elevator door in the house next door. That's where some employees there said they remembered seeing it, and I think we did some looking around, but as I said, we never found it. A couple of days ago we had the same issue at Moosejaw - no code posted. But the employee there knew what we were looking for and just gave us the code. So far everywhere we have gone searching for codes and terrariums the staff has been very nice.

When I went in search of the

When I went in search of the terrariums (terraria?!), at one location, the employee thought I was looking for directions to the library, too. Or that I was looking for a "little library" box. Or wanted to make my own terrarium. Finally I made myself sufficiently clear and the display was found, hidden in plain sight. Somewhat mortifying.
