"How do the tickets work?"
This page explains how the reward system for Spanish Fort Public Library works :) So if you are trying to figure out how to get your tickets so you can get your reading rewards you've found the page with the answers!
Library participants in the 2026 UNEARTH A STORY summer learning program can earn one(1) ticket per participant, per day for each of the following things:
- Checking out materials at SFPL (each individual participant must check out something for themselves to earn a ticket. Items can all be checked out with the same library card, but only the participants who the materials are checked out for will earn a ticket. Parents cannot earn a ticket for checking out books for their children.)
- Turning in any READING TIME TRACKER/LOG (check the instructions on your summer reading sheets to find your time tracker) by 12:30pm on July 25, 2026 (your designated sheet must be complete to earn an entry slip for the LOOT BAG drawing; participants can turn in completed sheets as they finish them and receive a new sheet.)
- Attending any 2026 Summer Reading program/activity/event(must be specifically summer reading 2026 and be hosted by SFPL)
- Completing any of the activity sheet goals listed on their SFPL summer reading printed materials received from the library or printed from the SR2926 Logs page
- Complete any of the Extra Activity Sheets on the EXTRA SUMMER RESOURCES page
How to use your reward tickets:
- select a prize from the PRIZE CATALOG on display inside SFPL
- swap for coin token for the prize machine
When checking the Prize Catalog:
Keep in mind that quantities of items are not unlimited. Our prize inventory may include multiples of some items and only one of other things. If you are saving tickets to get a particular reward, SFPL staff cannot guarantee that item will still be available once you have earned the number of tickets necessary.
Remember to bring your summer reading materials whenever you come to the library, so you don't miss out on any tickets you've earned!
All you have to do is let an SFPL Staff member at the desk know how many tickets you've earned.
We look forward to seeing you in the library!
