Douglas County Libraries brings you its 2010 Youth Spring Reading Program, Hop to It! Kids ages 12 and under may register at any Douglas County Library location from February 1 to March 15. Participants with reading logs showing 12 hours of reading completed before March 29 will be eligible to receive a free book. As always, pre-readers may participate by listening to books read aloud. Prizes are not guaranteed and are available while supplies last.

To complement its spring reading program, DCL has partnered with the Denver Zoo to bring live amphibians to Douglas County Libraries locations.
