Great Reads from Great Places

There are two missions within this program. Click below on the mission for children's books or adult books - or do both! Each of the missions has a title from each of the nine Western II states. After you read a title within the mission, click "Complete now" and you will be awarded a digital badge. Read all the titles within the mission and you will receive a badge for completing the mission! Want to view your badges? Click "Badges" to see what you have earned and what badges are still available to earn. Once you have completed a mission, you will be awarded a certificate! Start reading and see what you can complete by the close of the program on July 31, 2025!
