Patch Quest Returns!



We will be bringing back Patch Quest, on September 17th, at all Bedford Public Library locations. Read 10 books, in one of our 11 categories, and receive a patch! The categories range from Mystery to Make Believe, and the possibilities are endless! No matter what your interests are, you can receive patches just for reading! We hope to encourage you to read from many different categories, the more the better! And this year we will be having a "Patch Fashion Show" called "Patch Fashions" where we will display all of the creative uses our kids and teens have made of their PQ patches. We will be showcasing the artwork of past-patch achievers from November 11-17. Get your PQ logs and start getting those patches! Whether you like your patches on vests, or even to patch an old pair of jeans, we want to celebrate your reading and creativity! Entries can be submitted between November 11-17th. A Youth Services Librarian will take your picture to post with your entry. We will also ask you to fill out an index card with your favorite PQ book and the reason you chose to display your patches in the way you did. Don't miss out on this opportunity to show off your unique creative ability!
